12.2 Card arrangement planning
To even out the current flow, plan a stacked card
arrangement similar to the one shown in Fig. 22. If fit-
ting a PNI800 card, fit this first so that it is at the back of
the group of cards. Other cards require more connec-
tions and it is easier to plug in cables if they are fitted
towards the front of a group of cards.
12.3 Mounting cards and boards
on a FC600 series panel
You can mount the PNI800 card and the FB800 board on
the FC600 series panel in a stacked arrangement using
the pillars, washers and nuts that are supplied with the
card or board. A maximum of three cards or boards can
be fitted. Make sure that you fit the larger items (such
as the PNI800) before smaller ones (such as the
FB800).The old cards holder (120.008.130) is supplied
with the optional P-EXP Panel Expansion Kit
(557.202.807). Refer to Fig. 22 and complete these
steps:
1 The larger type of cards or boards are supplied with
a plastic bezel that must be removed in this arrange-
ment. To do this, remove the two self-tapping
screws that secure this part.
2 If fitting the PNI800, connect the larger 64way con-
nector of the ribbon cable to XP5 INT NBUS on the
FC-FI/FC-FI-1. Lead the cable across the mounting
plate at the back of the housing toward the PSU.
Position the cable so that it is not trapped between
the mounting pillars and the PCB.
3 Put the first board on top of the pillars provided (item
1 in Fig. 22). Secure the card using washers and
screws if this is the only card being used, or a pillar,
if you are inserting more cards or boards.
4 If fitting a PNI800, connect the 50way connector
closest to the FC-FI/FC-FI-1 to the connector on the
PNI800 PCB. If you fit a second card of this type, use
the next 50way connector.
13 Installing the
PNI800 - Panel Net
Interface
Install any PNI800 cards by completing these steps:
1 Check whether the card needs a firmware upgrade
and if so, refer to the relevant Technical Information
Bulletin (TIB).
2 Obtain an address number to set on the card’s
addressing DIP switch – see Section “Obtaining
card addresses” on page 31. For the PNI800, the
address number is 2 and there can be a maximum of
one PNI800 fitted.
3 Set the addressing DIP switches to the address
number. For a settings look up chart see Table 38 on
page 37.
4 Attach stand-offs to the back of the panel housing
(see item 1 in Fig. 22).
5 Mount the PNI800 on to the stand-offs.
6 Connect all necessary cables to the PNI800. See
section 12.3 Mounting Cards and Boards on a FC600
series panel.
7 When the panel is powered up, check the optical
indicators to ensure correct operation.
