Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)
Read and understand all of the following information regarding RIUP before attempting to remove and/or
replace any I/O module, particularly in a system that is actively controlling a process.
In legacy systems, all of the I/O Module types in the HC900 Controller System include the Removal and
Insertion Under Power (RIUP) feature. That is, while the rack is powered, any of the I/O Modules can be
removed or inserted:

With no physical damage to the module, to the rack, or to other modules in the rack

Without disturbing the functions of other I/O modules in the rack or in the system.
Under carefully controlled circumstances, this feature enables the user to remove and insert an I/O module
without completely shutting down a running system. However, it must be recognized that removing or
inserting an I/O module under power is potentially hazardous to property and to personnel.
In new systems, the CPU and Scanner modules support RIUP.Circumstances that dictate prudent actions
depend on conditions and specific process applications at each user facility. It is the responsibility of site
personnel to know all potential consequences of RIUP, and to take actions to prevent all adverse
consequences before removing or inserting an I/O module under power. Table 13 provides some general
guidelines for establishing appropriate procedures at a given installation.

– RIUP: Potential Hazards and Recommended Actions
Hazard Source Preventive Action(s)
Hazardous Voltages
Potentially lethal voltages on
Terminal Boards associated with
I/O Modules. Disconnect all signals at terminal
blocks from sources of power before
removing the terminal block from
the I/O module.
Loss of control or view of
a running process
Each signal at each of the
terminals for an I/O module has a
specific function. Any or all of the
signals may be vital for safely
controlling a process. Either:
Using trained personnel and
appropriate control mechanisms,
transfer to manual control for each
signal that is necessary to maintain
safe process control.
Or:
Bring the process to a safe stop
before initiating the removal or
insertion procedure.

DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED
OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
