4.7.2
Replacing the driver board with the input board
This section can be skipped if the driver and input boards are not faulty and do not need to be replaced.
Removing the driver board with the input board
Note
The driver and input boards contain electrostatically sensitive components. Electrostatic discharges caused by
incorrect handling or lack of earthing can damage the internal electronics. The following points should therefore be
taken into consideration:
• Observe the specifications for handling electrostatically sensitive devices.
• Discharge yourself of static electricity before installing or removing modules in order to protect them.
The valve cable assembly and the connections on the valve block are numbered.
If the numbers are no longer legible, mark the pilot lines before detaching them from the valve block.
When connecting, make sure that the numbers on the pilot lines match the numbers of the connections on the valve
block.
