2.6.4 Additional I/O Boards
An I/O board which is not replacing a faulty board is delivered with a connection unit and
connection cable. Replacement of faulty boards is described in Chapter 5, Maintenance.
For a detailed description of the connection and use of an engineering station and different
dump/load commands, see separate documentation, AMPL Configuration Advant
Controller 400 Series.
Preparation and Setup
I/O boards are normally grouped by type, so place the new boards with boards of the same type,
if possible. This also applies to the connection unit. Note, however, that you must consider the
power requirement and heat dissipation.
Route cables in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Section 2.2.6, Cable Routing in
Cabinets.
Mount I/O functions in the following way:
1. Make a plan for the work to be done.
– Read the General Guidelines above and apply the information.
– Check for available spares in the data base. Use the commands DIMDB (check is
possible, redimensioning is not possible on-line) or LDBD.
– Determine I/O address to be used. Use the documentation of the data base or the
delivery documentation, if applicable.
2. If no spares are available, make a dump of the controller system configuration and the
application program. Engineering station dump command DUTDB and DUTPT.
3. Switch off the supply voltage to the control system (recommendation).
NOTE
Remember that the control function of the system ceases and the process being
controlled is affected.
4. Screw the connection unit to the mounting bar at the rear wall of the cabinet. Ensure that
the screws make contact with the tinned surface of the earth plane of the circuit board for
effective grounding.
It is also of the utmost importance that you tighten the screws properly to give a reliable
earth connection. See Figure 2-32.
5. Screw the board connector with connection cable to the desired slot in the subrack and
connect to the connection unit in the opposite end. See illustration in Figure 2-33.
6. Ensure that there is no tension in the wiring, especially if it may be necessary to swing the
hinged subframe for the I/O subrack.
7. Set the I/O address and other functional jumpering on the board.
Addressing and functional measures like jumpering are described in the reference manual
S100 I/O Hardware.
