  2.5  Replacing the Module 
The PA912 module can be replaced while the system is not energized. 
Turn off the DC24V power supply to the PA912 module. 
Set  the  maintenance  switch  of  the  I/O  base  unit  BU90A  to  the  up  (MAINT) 
position. 
Remove  the  TC-net  I/O  loop  optical  transmission  cables  and  PROFIBUS 
transmission cables (twisted pair cables) that are connected to PA912 from the 
module. 
Loosen  the  fixing  screw  on  the  top  of  the  module,  and  rotate  the  module 
downward to pull it off. 
Remove the cables of the DC24V power supply that connected to the power 
terminal of the I/O base unit BU90A. 
Upon replacement, note the following. 
• Make sure that the replaced module is the same model. 
• Confirm that  the cable connection  of the DC24V power supply is correct 
after the replacement. 
• Set the hexadecimal rotary switch and 4-bit dip switch of the I/O base unit 
BU90A to the same setting as the I/O base unit before replacement. 
• After  installing  the  module  and  connecting  the  TC-net  I/O  loop  optical 
transmission  cable  and PROFIBUS  transmission  cable,  set  the  maintenance 
switch to the down (RUN) position. 
• After  completing  the  module  replacement,  switch  settings  and  cable 
connection, turn the DC24V power on. 
 
 
CAUTION
Before touching the module or inserting 
or removing the transmission cable, wear 
a wrist strap and white cotton gloves.   
Ground the wrist strap to remove static 
electricity. 
Otherwise, it may cause damage or failure of 
the module.
