Installing The Software - ProSoft MVI56E-61850C User Manual

MVI56E-61850C ♦ IEC 61850 Client Communication Module
ControlLogix® Platform
Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur.
An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by sending an erroneous signal to your
system's actuators. This can cause unintended machine motion or loss of process control. Electrical arcs
may also cause an explosion when they happen in a hazardous environment. Verify that power is removed
or the area is non-hazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and
its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect
module operation.
1
Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and then slide it into the rack until
the module is firmly against the backplane connector.
2 With a firm, steady push, snap the module into place.
3
Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securely in the
locking holes of the rack.
4 Make a note of the slot location. You must identify the slot in which the module is
installed in order for the sample program to work correctly. Slot numbers are
identified on the green circuit board (backplane) of the ControlLogix rack.
5 Turn power ON.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working or may behave unpredictably.
