Mounting Option Cards
For complete details, refer to the specific mounting and
wiring guide that shipped with the option card. Follow
these basic steps:
1. If a station is running, stop the station using the
platform Application Director View.
2. Remove power from the controller.
3. Remove the optional battery and bracket assembly
by taking out the four screws holding it in place. Set
the screws aside for later. Unplug the battery from
the connector on the FX30E/FX60E (if the battery is
being used in addition to the integral SRAM for
backup).
4. Remove the blanking end plate for the slot into which
you are installing the option card. Retain the blanking
plate in case you need to remove the option card at
a later time.
5. Carefully insert the pins of the option card into the
socket of the appropriate option card slot. The
mounting holes on the option card should line up
with the standoffs on the base unit. If they do not,
the connector is not properly aligned. Press until the
option card is completely seated.
6. Place the custom end plate that came with the option
card over the connector of the option card.
7. Insert the battery connector plug into the battery
connector on the FX30E/FX60E.
8. Set the battery and bracket assembly back over the
option card slots, with the mounting holes aligned
with the standoffs.
9. Place the four screws through the battery bracket,
end plates, and into the standoffs on the
FX30E/FX60E base unit. Hand-tighten these screws.
10. Replace the cover.
11. Restore power to the FX30E/FX60E.
Wiring
See Figure 8 to locate connectors and other components
on the FX30E/FX60E. Make connections to the
FX30E/FX60E in the following order.
1. Install any option cards (LON, RS-232, RS-485,
modem, WTC) in Option Slots 1 and 2. See Mounting
Option Cards for the general procedure. For complete
details, refer to the specific mounting and wiring guide
that shipped with the option card.
2. Connect the supplied earth grounding wires (with
spade connector) from the earth ground lug on the
FX30E/FX60E and any accessory modules (if used)
to a nearby earth grounding point. See Grounding for
details.
3. Prepare power wiring (leave the unit powered off).
See Power Wiring for details.
4. Connect communications cables. See
Communications Wiring for ports available on the
FX30E/FX60E base unit. For ports on any installed
option card (LON, RS-232, RS-485, modem, and
WTC), refer to the specific mounting and wiring guide
for additional details.
5. If NDIO modules are installed, connect the I/O wiring.
Refer to the appropriate mounting and wiring guide
for complete details.
6. Apply power to the unit. See Powerup and Initial
Checkout.
Grounding
An earth ground spade lug (0.187 in. [4.75 mm]) is
provided on the base of the FX30E/FX60E for connection
to earth ground. For maximum protection from
electrostatic discharge or other forms of electromagnetic
interference, connect the supplied earth grounding wire
to this lug and a nearby earth ground (Figure 9). Keep
this wire as short as possible.
Power is provided for the FX30E/FX60E plug-in accessory
modules through the 30-pin accessory connectors;
however, connect the earth ground spade lug of each
accessory module to ground in the same manner.
Power Wiring
The FX30E/FX60E must be powered by an approved 15
VDC power source. This source can come from one of
the following:
• a DIN rail mount 24 VAC/DC powered module
(LP-FXPM24-0)
• a DIN rail mount line voltage (120-240 VAC) module
(LP-FXPM263-0)
• an external Class 2 wall mount AC adapter
(LP-FXPMUS/EU/UK-0)
The FX30E/FX60E does not include an on/off switch. To
apply power, you can do one of the following:
• plug in the power connector to the FX30E/FX60E, if
the wall mount power module is used
• plug in its 2-position power connector, if the 24 VAC
DIN rail power supply is used
• energize the AC circuit (120-240 VAC) wired to that
module, if the line voltage DIN rail power supply is
used
