4ControlLogix SERCOS interface Module

ATTENTION

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:

•Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.

•Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.

•Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.

•Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.

•If available, use a static-safe workstation.

•When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging.

Install the Module

WARNING

When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.

You can install or remove this module while chassis power and field-side power are on.
