What You Need to Do
Before you can install a FlexLogix controller or extended-local adapter, you must:
Install steel, 35 x 7.55mm DIN rails (A-B part number 199-DR1; 46277-3)
where you want to place the FlexLogix system components.
The DIN rails for all FlexLogix system components, including all local and
extended-local I/O modules, must be mounted on a common, conductive
surface to ensure proper electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance.
See 23 and 24 for approximate mounting dimensions and mounting
clearances.
For more information about mounting DIN rails and splitting I/O across DIN
rails, see the FLEX I/O Product Data, publication 1794-2.1
Use DIN rail locks (A-B catalog number 1492-EA35) to meet the shock and
vibrations specifications listed on 21. A pair of DIN locks comes with
the controller.
Mount an appropriate power supply on an appropriate DIN rail. See the
specifications on 21.
To install a FlexLogix controller:
Step 1: Verify That You Have All the Components, see page 6.
Step 2: Install the Battery, see page 7.
Step 3: Install Communication Daughtercards (optional), see page 8
Step 4: Install the Controller, see page 9.
Step 5: Install the Extended-Local Adapter (optional), see page 12.
After you install the FlexLogix controller, you can:
Make an RS-232 Connection to the Controller, see page 15.
Select the Operating Mode of the Controller see page 18.
Monitor the Controller LEDs, see page 19.
