Installing the Module in the Rack
If you have not already installed and configured your ControlLogix processor and power
supply, please do so before installing the MVI56-HART module. Refer to your Rockwell
Automation product documentation for installation instructions.
Warning:
You must follow all safety instructions when installing this or any other
electronic devices. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in damage to
hardware or data, or even serious injury or death to personnel. Refer to the
documentation for each device you plan to connect to verify that suitable safety
procedures are in place before installing or servicing the device.
After you have checked the placement of the jumpers, insert MVI56-HART into the
ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by Rockwell Automation to
remove and install ControlLogix modules.
Warning:
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on,
an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Verify that power is removed or the area is non-hazardous before
proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on
both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.
1
Turn power OFF.
2
Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and slide it into the rack until the
module is firmly against the backplane connector.
