3.2 HANDLING SERIES 505 MODULES
Many
integrated circuit (IC) devices are susceptible to damage by the discharge
of
static electricity
. Follow the suggestions listed below to reduce the probability
of damage to these devices when you are handling a PLC, an I/O controller, or
any of the I/O modules. To minimize risk of shock hazard, make certain
power
to the PLC system is turned off.
WARNING
To minimize the risk of shock hazard, make
certain
power to the PLC system is turned off.
Both the module and the person handling the module should be at the same
ground
potential. T
o accomplish this, ensure that:
The module is transported in an antistatic container or antistatic
material.
The work area has a conductive pad with a lead connecting it to a
common
ground.
You
are grounded by making contact with the conductive pad and/or by
wearing
a grounded wrist strap.
CAUTION
The following precautions, although less
effective, may be taken to minimize the
possibility of component damage resulting from
electrostatic discharge. See Appendix B for
grounding
guidelines.
To discharge static electricity, touch a grounded piece of metal before
touching
the circuit board or any of its components.
W
ear non-synthetic clothing.
Handle all modules by the external casing, and avoid contact with the
circuit
board or any of its components.
