Upgrading a TI520/TI520C/TI530/TI530C/TI530T System (continued)
Determine the number of I/O slots in the base to be upgraded. For some
bases, a PPX:500–5840 adapter base must be installed. The 14-slot, 12-slot
and 6-slot bases (Upgrade Path A) do not require an adapter base. For a
16-slot or 8-slot base (Upgrade Path B), you need to install an adapter base.
Disable all power to bases before installing or removing modules.
Failure to do so could cause death or serious injury and/or damage
to equipment.
Ensure that all power is disabled before installing or removing
modules.
For 14-slot, 12-slot and 6-slot bases follow these steps (Upgrade Path A):
1.
Remove the existing controlling device(s): the controller and IOCC (if
an IOCC is present), or the DBC.
2.
If the power supply is in slot B, move it to slot A of the I/O base. This
makes slot B of the I/O base available for an I/O module. In your I/O
configuration, the slot that was previously slot #1 becomes slot #2.
For 16-slot and 8-slot bases follow these steps (Upgrade Path B):
1.
Remove the existing controlling device(s): the controller and IOCC (if
an IOCC is present), or the DBC.
2.
Install a PPX:500–5840 adapter base. See user manual PPX:500–8140
for information about installing the adapter base.
3.
Install an AC (PPX:500–2151A) or DC (PPX:500–2153) power supply in
Slot B of the adapter base. Slot A is left empty. See the appropriate
user manuals for information about the power supply.
These steps finish the upgrade for both Upgrade Paths A and B.
1.
Install an RBC (PPX:500–5114A) in the controller slot. See Section D.5
for information about installing the RBC.
2.
Set the base address (1–15) using the thumbwheel on the RBC. Base
number 0 is reserved for the local base and cannot be used for an RBC.
3.
Connect the twin axial cable to the RS-485 port on the RBC(s) and to
the I/O port of the TI545/TI555.
4.
Use APT or TISOFT to set the I/O configuration for the upgrade.
