CMM742 Installation

This section describes the physical mounting of the Ethernet Interface into the Series 90-70 PLC rack. For information on the installation procedures for the rack, Series 90-70 CPU, Power Supply, and other Series 90-70 modules, refer to GFK-0262, Series 90-70 Programmable Controller Installation Manual.

Warning

Do not insert or remove modules with power applied. This could cause the

PLC to Stop, damage the module, or result in personal injury.

1. Be sure the Series 90-70 PLC rack power is OFF.

2. Slide the Ethernet Interface into the desired slot—normally the first available slot to the right of the CPU.

Press firmly to seat the Interface, but do not force the Interface. Tighten the screws on the top and bottom tabs.

Note

The Series 90-70 Ethernet Interface (Type 2) must be installed in the main rack; installation in an expansion rack is not supported. The Ethernet Interface will not operate properly if there are empty slots to the left of the slot you select.

3. Connect one of the Ethernet ports on the Ethernet Interface to the network. If you are using an external transceiver, connect the transceiver cable to the AUI port on the Ethernet Interface. The other end of the transceiver cable should be connected to an external IEEE

802.3compatible transceiver that is attached to the Ethernet network. SQE must be enabled on the transceiver.

Caution

Do not connect or disconnect a transceiver or network cable to the AUI or BNC ports while power is applied to the PLC. This may blow the port fuse and/or cause permanent damage to the Ethernet Interface.

4. Set the CPU Run/Stop switch to STOP.
