Many integrated circuit (IC) devices are susceptible to damage by the
discharge of static electricity. Follow the suggestions listed below to reduce
the probability of damage to these devices when you are handling this
Network Interface module, the PLC, a base controller, or any of the I/O
modules.
Both the module and the person handling the module should be at the same
ground potential. Also, follow these guidelines.
Transport the module in an anti-static container or antistatic material.
Ensure that the work area has a conductive pad with a lead connecting
it to a common ground.
Ground yourself by making contact with the conductive pad and/or by
wearing a grounded wrist strap.
Inspect the module for any visible damage before setting any selectable
features. If damage is detected, contact your distributor or sales office for
further instructions.
The following sections describe the procedures for configuring the module,
installing the module in the base, connecting the communications cables to
the MODNIM, and initializing the system for operation. Before installing
the MODNIM, make sure that the PLC is installed and the programming
device is connected to the system.
