Replacing the RF182C communication module
Initial situation
● The RF182C communication module is already mounted. A new RF182C communication
module of the same type should be installed.
● The RF182C is wired up and operating.
Procedure
1.
Remove the 4 fixing screws from the connection block and pull the connection block off
the communication module.
Note
If you disassemble the connection block during operation, only the power supply will be
looped through. Ethernet communication will be interrupted during module replacement
from this node onwards. For more information, refer to section Loop-through of Ethernet
and supply voltage (Page 30).
2.
On the communication module, remove the screwed M12 plug-in connections to the
readers.
3.
Remove the fixing screws from the communication module and remove it.
4.
Locate the new communication module and screw it down firmly.
5.
Place the connection block on the new communication module and tighten the 4 fixing
screws.
Result
Since the IP address of the communication module remains saved in the connection block,
the new RF182C communication module is included in the data communication by the
Ethernet controller.
Note
If the connection block is replaced in addition to the base unit, the RF182C may not start up
automatically. In this case, proceed as follows:
