Installing the DSM314 Module
The DSM324i can operate in the main rack, expansion rack, or remote baseplate of any
supported Host Controller (PACSystems Rx3i, firmware release 2.8 or later or Series 90-30
PLC, firmware release 10.0 or later). The configuration files created by the configuration
software must match the physical configuration of the modules.
For general Series 90-30 installation and environment considerations, refer to the Series 90-
30 PLC Installation and Hardware Manual, GFK-0356.
For general PACSystems RX3i installation and environment considerations, refer to the
PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314 or later.
To install the DSM314 on the baseplate, follow these steps:
1.
Use the configuration software or the Hand-Held Programmer (Series 90-30 only) to
stop the host controller. This prevents the local application program, if any, from
initiating any command that may affect the module operation on subsequent
power- up.
2.
Power down the host controller system.
3.
Align the module with the desired base slot and connector. Tilt the module upward
so that the top rear hook of the module engages the slot on the baseplate top edge.
4.
Swing the module down until the connectors mate and the lock-lever on the bottom
of the module snaps into place engaging the baseplate notch.
5.
Connect the faceplate shield wire from the ¼ inch blade terminal on the bottom of
the module to a suitable panel earth ground.
6.
Refer to Figures 3-10 through 3-23 and Tables 3-7 through 3-14 for I/O wiring
requirements.
7.
Power up the host controller rack. The Status LED of the Motion Mate DSM314 will
turn ON when the controller has passed its power-up diagnostics.
8.
Repeat this procedure for each DSM314 module in your host controller system.
9.
Configure the DSM314 module(s) as described in Chapter 4.
The following table lists the DSM314 module current draw and defines the number of
modules that can be installed in a particular host controller system.
The number of modules in a system may be restricted by:
•
Host controller rack power supply capacity
•
Host controller I/O Table space. The DSM module requires the use of %I, %Q, %AI,
and %AQ memory in the
host controller’s I/O Table, with the %I and %Q type usually
being the most restrictive of the four. %AI is also restrictive on CPUs that do not
support configurable %AQ memory (such as the 350 CPU). The amount of available
memory varies with the model of host controller CPU to be used.
•
Host controller Configuration data storage capacity
•
Available CPU memory
