Replacing the IMC or IMC/TPIU
You can remove the IMC or the IMC/TPIU from the shelf and replace it without
affecting outputs.
1. Save the contents of the IMC memory in an IOC by issuing the following
command:
CPY-MEM:::::IMC,IOC,IMC;
This command may take more than two seconds to execute; if it does, then the
In-Process response is issued. See the
TimeProvider TL1 Reference Guide
for
more information on the CPY-MEM command.
2. Attach a wrist grounding strap and connect it to the TimeProvider chassis.
3. Remove the IMC by loosening the captive screws and pulling the IMC from the
shelf using the U-shaped handles.
