Model 2600XM Controller Installation Guide
Inserting Modules into the Controller
The Model 2600XM controller accepts a variety of plug-in modules. You insert the
modules into one of the slots of your Model 2600XM controller. Any combination of
modules, subject to system limits, may be inserted into the controller.
You may insert modules in any order; the controllers CPU dynamically assigns motor
number, input number, output numbers, etc., each time power is reapplied to the control-
ler. These numbers are assigned from left to right across the controller, from slot one to
slot ten in a Model 2600XM-10.
To install a module into the controller:
1. Remove all AC and DC power to the controller. This includes any external power
supplies connected to the controller.
2. Remove the retaining screws from the top and bottom of the cover plate at the
location where you are inserting the new module. Save these screws to reinstall the
new module.
3. To orient the module properly, make sure the labeling on the module reads right-side
up. See illustration on page 2.
4. Slide the module into the slot, insuring that the circuit board slides into the nylon
guides at the top and bottom of the slot.
5. Press the module firmly into the controller. When properly seated, the faceplate of
the module is flush with the adjacent sheet metal surface.
6. Reinstall the retaining screws in the top and bottom of the new module.
7. Wire the module according to the instructions in its installation guide.
