3.1 PCS7/TM in M7-400 installation technique
A PCS7/TM PLC in M7-400 installation technique is mounted in the same
way as a SIMATIC M7-400 PLC.
Note
Details on how to mount a SIMATIC M7-400 PLC are found in Manual /31/.
Here a brief overview of the most important steps for mounting a PCS7/TM
PLC in M7-400 installation technique:
Mount the module rack in the cabinet.
Ground the module rack.
Remove the covers of the power supply and central module.
Remove the covers and insert the interface modules in the central module.
See also Figure 3-1 showing the arrangement:
• IF 961-DIO for acquisition and output of process control signals, e.g. ca-
binet lamp
• IF 962-COM for diagnostics with remote terminal
Note when inserting an interface module:
• Hold the interface module on the longitudinal sides of the front panel
• Slide the ends of the interface module into the lower and upper guide rail
of the slot
• Slide it in slowly until the front panel of the interface module is flush on
the module slot frame
• Screw-tighten the interface module.
!
Warning
Always switch off power when you insert or remove an interface module.
The bottom of interface modules is not covered. This is why you must al-
ways conform with EGB rules when handling these modules.
