Installation and operating instructions
2.1 Introduction
Before beginning an installation, it is important to assess and evaluate the location
where the system is to be installed and to plan how the installation should look after it
has been completed. Make a detailed layout of the equipment and note distances
between components and the networks to which it should connect. Specify the
configuration requirements of each interface, for example IP addresses and subnet
mask for LAN connections or intended Modbus RTU mode (slave or master).
Amongst other things, consider the lengths of all cables, their routing, where
electrical power for the unit can be sourced and any interfaces to the plant systems.
Good and thorough planning is the basis for a successful installation and system
implementation.
Important safety warnings:
In some countries, the installer must be certified to install equipment, such
as an IMx.
Make sure that the power is disconnected before the installation begins.
Observe all site safety requirements including any that may be specific to
the machines or areas where the installation work is being carried out.
