Commissioning

Network Control Module 300 Series Technical Bulletin
Overview
Commissioning a Network Control Module begins after these
conditions have been met:
• You installed the NCM into a mounted enclosure.
• You inspected all field wiring.
• You defined software objects for all the modules.
Refer to the Key Concepts section of this document and the Universal
Packaging Module Technical Bulletin (LIT-6363070) for information
on the above steps.
The general commissioning tasks are:
1. Set N2 End-of-Line (EOL) switches, DRAM memory switches
(if applicable), and make the cable connections as necessary.
2. Configure the non-volatile RAM (NOVRAM) file with NCSETUP
for the Windows operating system. Refer to the NCSETUP for
Windows Technical Bulletin (LIT-6360251d).
3. Confirm proper operation via self-diagnostic tests (indicated by
LED lights) and correct responses from the field devices.
No special tools are necessary for commissioning an NCM. To set up
NOVRAM, use NCSETUP for the Windows operating system. This
requires Metasys software running on an OWS.
Cautionary Notes
When commissioning the NCM:
• fasten all field ground wires under the topmost screw. This
contacts the ground plate of the EWC enclosure.
• disconnect the battery and cycle power prior to making any
changes to the current configuration to ensure the changes take
effect. (Cycling power with the battery disconnected clears the
memory.)
• disconnect the battery power connector prior to installing any
SIMM cards or damage may occur to both the SIMMs and the
NCM board
• use a ground strap when working on the NCM ISA cards or
SIMMs
• if possible, use three chip SIMMs when expanding the NCM
memory. Three chip SIMMs draw less current, extending battery
backup time.
