Note

Only use interface submodules that are explicitly released for use in S7-400 devices.

Installing Interface Modules

!Warning

The modules can be damaged.

When inserting or removing interface submodules with power applied, the CPU and interface submodules can be damaged (exception: using synchronization submodules in an H system).

Never insert or remove the interface submodules while power is being supplied (exception: synchronization submodules). Always switch off the power supply before inserting or removing interface submodules.

!Caution

Danger of damage to persons and property.

Interface submodules contain electronically-sensitive components that may be damaged if they are touched.

The surface temperatures on the components can reach up to 70o C and there is a risk of burning.

For this reason, you should always hold the interface submodules on the longest sides of the front panel.

Observe the ESD guidelines when installing interface submodules.

To fit an interface submodule in a card slot, follow the steps outlined below:

1.Hold the interface submodule on the long sides of the front plate.

2.Insert the PCB end of the interface submodule in the lower and upper guides of the card slot, as shown in Figure 6-4.
