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 MVI56E-FLN 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 the MVI56E-FLN
into the ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by
Rockwell Automation to remove and install ControlLogix modules.
You can install or remove ControlLogix system components while chassis power
is applied and the system is operating. However, please note the following
warning.
Warning:
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on,
an electrical arc can occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or
property damage by sending an erroneous signal to your system’s actuators.
This can cause unintended machine motion or loss of process control. Electrical
arcs may also cause an explosion when they happen in a hazardous
environment. 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.
