Removing I/O Modules from the Chassis
Complete the following steps to remove a C Series I/O module from the
chassis.
1.
Make sure that no I/O-side power is connected to the I/O module. The
chassis power can be on when you remove I/O modules.
2.
Squeeze the latches on both sides of the module and pull the module
out of the chassis.
Connecting the Chassis to a Network
Connect the chassis to an Ethernet network using RJ-45 Ethernet port 1 on
the controller front panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better
shielded, twisted-pair Ethernet cable to connect the chassis
to an Ethernet
hub, or use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the chassis directly to a
computer.
Caution
To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,
do
not
use a cable longer than 100 m.
If you need to build your own cable, refer to the
Cabling
section for more
information about Ethernet cable wiring connections.
The host computer communicates with the chassis
over a standard Ethernet
connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must configure
the chassis
on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither the host
computer nor the chassis is connected to a network, you can connect the
two directly using a crossover cable.
Next you need to assign an IP address to the chassis. For information about
assigning an IP address and setting up your network, refer to the
FRC
Control System Manual
