CompactLogix 5380 Controllers
Remove or Replace the Controller
1. Turn off power to the MOD power and the SA power RTBs.
2. Disconnect wires from the RTBs. 
For more information, see 
Disconnect Wires from the RTBs 
on page 11.
3. Pull the RTB handles to remove the MOD power RTB and SA 
power RTB.
4. Remove the Ethernet cable from the controller.
5. Push down on the front of the DIN rail latches. 
A click indicates that the DIN rail latches are open.
If the DIN rail latches fail to remain in the open position, hold 
them down.
6. Pull the controller off the DIN rail.
7. Repeat the installation steps that are described beginning at 
Install the Controller onto the DIN Rail on page 8.
8. Apply MOD power and, if necessary, SA power to the system.
WARNING: If you insert or remove the controller while power is 
on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in 
hazardous location installations. The controller does not support 
"Removal and Insertion Under Power" (RIUP) capability. Do not 
connect or disconnect the controller while power is applied. Be 
sure that power is removed before proceeding.
ATTENTION: Do not remove or replace a controller while power is 
applied. Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional 
operation or machine motion.
IMPORTANT When you remove MOD power from the controller, you shut down 
power to all modules in the CompactLogix 5380 system. That is, 
all system-side is removed. When you remove SA power from the 
controller, all field-side power that is provided by the controller is 
removed. If the system uses the SA power that is provided by the 
5069-FPD field potential distributor, the system does not lose 
field-side power to the right of the field potential distributor. 
In this case, you must use a separate power source for the SA 
power RTB on the field potential distributor.
We strongly recommend that you take the appropriate actions to 
help prevent unintended consequences that can result from a 
system power shutdown before you remove MOD power or SA 
power from the adapter or field potential distributor.
Despite the removal of power from SA RTBs on the controller or 
field potential distributor, the 5069-OB16 and 5069-OB16F 
modules continue to receive field-side power. The modules 
receive power from an external power source that is connected to 
the LA (+) and LA (–) module terminals.
