New Replacement Units
To replace a faulty unit, order and install a
new
JO-PC1 controller—please note this series of products does
not
have special “field replacement units,” or FRUs, with separate part numbers.
If the faulty JO-PC1 is
still in warranty
, you can receive credit by returning it. Be sure to contact the vendor for
a return material authorization (RMA) number before shipping an item for return credit. See
page 23, for more details.
Note
Before ordering a new JO-PC1, it is strongly recommended that you contact your normal technical
support resource to eliminate the possibility of a software issue or mis-configuration problem.
Replacing the JO-PC1 base assembly
Caution
Before handling circuit boards, discharge any accumulated static by touching the metal surface of
the JO-PC1. For details, see the
“Static Discharge Precautions”
To replace the JO-PC1 base assembly in the field, proceed as follows:
Procedure 8
Replacing a JO-PC1 base assembly.
Step 1
Using the appropriate NiagaraAX software tool, back up the controller’s configuration to your PC.
Step 2
Remove power to the controller. The unit should power down automatically.
Wait for all LEDs to remain off.
Note
If IO accessory modules are installed, and any I/O points have voltage, turn the devices off or
disconnect power to them.
Step 3
Note positions of all communications and other wiring cables going to the JO-PC1, as well as all
installed accessory modules (if they must be removed). If necessary, label connectors and accessory
modules to avoid mis-connection later, after JO-PC1 is replaced.
Step 4
Unplug all Ethernet, serial, LON, modem, and I/O connectors from the JO-PC1, and unplug its earth
ground wire.
Step 5
If IO accessory modules are installed:
–
If DIN rail mounting with DIN end-clips was used, you may be able to remove the DIN rail end clip
that secures the JO-PC1 end of the assembly, and then
slide
the controller away from the rest of the
assembly. Then you can remove the controller from the DIN rail (see
on page 6), leaving the
mounting and wiring of IO modules untouched.
In this case, after removing the JO-PC1 controller from the DIN rail, skip ahead to
–
If tab (screw) mounting was used
instead
of DIN rail mounting, or if a combination of DIN rail
mounting
and
tab screws (into the JO-PC1’s “accessory side” tab holes, see
to remove the accessory modules
first
, before removing the JO-PC1.
