Slices Installation

Introduction

The installation procedure of the slices is to install and assemble them directly on the DIN rail:

1

Mount the bus bases.

2

Insert the electronic modules.

3

Mount the terminal blocks.

NOTE: If the Sercos III Bus Interface is already installed and wired, or the slice connectors are pre-wired, be sure to remove all power before attempting these procedures.
 DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
  • Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when indicated.
  • Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
  • Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated products.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The installation procedure for the first bus base depends whether it is a local, remote or distributed configuration.

NOTICE
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
  • Store electronic components in their protective packaging until immediately before assembly.
  • Only touch modules on the housing.
  • Take the necessary protective measures against electrostatic discharges.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Mounting the Bus Bases

The following procedure describes how to mount the bus bases:

Step

Description

1

Remove bus bases from protective packaging. Verify the bus bases for visible mechanical damage.

2

Push the locking lever all the way up on all of the bus bases. This opens the locking mechanism.

3

  • Remote configuration: Go to next step.

  • Distributed configuration: Remove the terminal block of the IPDM of the Sercos III Bus Interface.

4

  • Remote configuration: Hang the first bus base in the desired position on the mounting rail and close the locking mechanism by pushing the lever down.

  • Distributed configuration: Insert the first bus base in the guides of the Sercos III Bus Interface bus base, slide the bus base in against the mounting rail and secure it by pushing the lever down.

5

Insert the next bus base in the guides of the previously mounted bus base.

6

Slide the bus base in against the mounting rail and secure it by pushing down the locking lever.

7

According to the installation plan, proceed like this with the rest of the bus bases.

8

If using bus bases with address setting, assign the bus base address at this step of the installation procedure of the slices.

NOTE: Remember to reinstall the removed terminal block after installation of the slice.

Inserting the Electronic Modules

A slice must only be composed of a single color. For example, a gray bus base should only be assembled with a gray electronic module and a gray terminal block. However, color alone is not sufficient for compatibility; always confirm that functionality of slice components matches as well.

 DANGER
INCOMPATIBLE COMPONENTS CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ARC FLASH
  • Do not associate components of a slice that have different colors.
  • Always confirm the compatibility of slice components and modules before installation using the association table in this manual.
  • Verify that correct terminal blocks (minimally, matching colors and correct number of terminals) are installed on the appropriate electronic modules.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: If the Sercos III Bus Interface is already installed and wired and you are replacing an existing electronic module, be sure to follow the Hot-swap guidelines in association with the following procedures.

The following procedure describes how to mount the electronic modules:

Step

Action

1

Remove electronic module from protective packaging. Verify the electronic module for visible mechanical damage.

2

Insert electronic module in the guides of the bus base.

3

Push the electronic module straight into the bus base until it clicks.

4

According to the installation plan, proceed like this with all the electronic modules.

Mounting the Terminal Blocks

A slice must only be composed of a single color. For example, a gray bus base should only be assembled with a gray electronic module and a gray terminal block. However, color alone is not sufficient for compatibility; always confirm that functionality of slice components matches as well.

 DANGER
INCOMPATIBLE COMPONENTS CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ARC FLASH
  • Do not associate components of a slice that have different colors.
  • Always confirm the compatibility of slice components and modules before installation using the association table in this manual.
  • Verify that correct terminal blocks (minimally, matching colors and correct number of terminals) are installed on the appropriate electronic modules.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

See Coding the TM5 System for assistance in labeling and associating components.

The following procedure describes how to mount the terminal block:

Step

Action

1

Hang the bottom edge of the terminal block in its hinge on the bus base.

2

Rotate upward.

3

Press the terminal block until it clicks in place.

4

According to the installation plan, proceed like this with all the terminal blocks.

Right Bus Base Locking Plate

The right bus base locking plate must be attached to the rightmost slice of the Sercos III Bus Interface or the rightmost expansion module of the remote configuration, or distributed island:

Step

Action

1

Remove the terminal block of the rightmost expansion module .

2

From the front, insert the right bus base locking plate into the bus base interlocking guides.

3

Push it in all the way.

4

Replace the terminal block of the rightmost expansion module.

Left Bus Base Locking Plate

The left bus base locking plate is attached to the first slice (receiver slice) of the remote islands:

Step

Action

1

Place the left bus base locking plate on the left slice and insert it in the interlocking guides of the terminal block.

2

Slide the bus base locking plate forward.
