4. Installation Instructions
4.1 Pre‑Installation
Power Off: Disconnect rack power before installation (hot‑swap supported for replacement).
Unpack & Inspect: Check for physical damage; verify connectors and LEDs.
Firmware Check: Confirm latest firmware version (upgrade via RS‑485 if needed).
4.2 Rack Mounting
Slot Selection: Install in any available slot of IC697 rack (1 slot per module; max 4 per CPU rack).
Insertion: Align module with rack guides; push firmly until backplane connectors fully seat.
Secure: Tighten front panel screws (torque: 0.8–1.0 N·m).
Grounding: Ensure rack chassis is connected to protective earth (PE).
4.3 Wiring & Connections
Ethernet: Connect cable to RJ‑45, BNC, or AUI (one port active at a time).
RS‑232: Connect D‑sub 9 cable to PC/HMI for diagnostics.
RS‑485: Wire terminal block for firmware upgrades (observe polarity).
Network Configuration: Set IP address, subnet mask, and gateway via programming software.
5. Configuration & Operation
5.1 Software Configuration
Programming Software: Use Logicmaster 90‑70 or Proficy Machine Edition.
IP Setup: Assign static IP (or enable DHCP) and subnet mask.
EGD Configuration: Define producer/consumer data exchanges between PLCs.
SRTP Setup: Configure host communication for programming/SCADA.
** Firmware Upgrade**: Connect PC to RS‑485 port; load latest firmware via software.
5.2 Operational Modes
Normal Operation: Module active; Ethernet/serial communication enabled.
Maintenance Mode: Enter via reset button; for diagnostics/firmware load.
Hot‑Swap: Replace module without power down; system auto‑reconfigures.
6. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
6.1 Preventive Maintenance
Cleaning: Every 3–6 months, use low‑pressure dry air to remove dust from ports/module.
Inspection: Check module seating, cable connections, and LED status.
Firmware Update: Annually check for latest firmware (upgrade via RS‑485).
6.2 Common Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| MODULE OK LED OFF | Backplane power fault; module hardware failure | Check rack power supply; reinsert module; replace if faulty |
| LAN ONLINE LED OFF | No Ethernet link; faulty cable; wrong port | Check cable/connector; verify active port (RJ‑45/BNC/AUI) |
| LAN ONLINE LED Blinking (No Data) | IP conflict; network misconfiguration; EGD/SRTP error | Verify IP settings; check network mask/gateway; reconfigure EGD/SRTP |
| SERIAL ACTIVE LED Not Blinking | Serial cable fault; wrong baud rate; no communication | Check cable; verify baud rate (300–19,200 bps) |
| STATUS OK LED OFF | Temperature fault; firmware error; configuration mismatch | Check ambient temperature; reflash firmware; verify configuration |
