Mechanical installation of the UPS Module

The UPS module can be connected to the Embedded PC System at any positions. It is recommended to place it between CPU basic module and power supply unit. (see picture in system overview)

0. Switching off and disconnecting the power supply

Before a CX10x0 system can be dismantled, the system should be switched off, and the power supply should be disconnected.

1. Removing from the top-hat rail:

Before the individual CX10x0 modules are disconnected, the whole CX1020 hardware block should be removed from the top-hat rail. Proceed as follows:

1.1. Release and remove the first Terminal next to the power supply unit on the top-hat rail.

First remove any wiring from power supply unit and then from the first terminal on the top-hat rail next to the power supply unit. If the wiring is to be reused for another system, it is advisable to make a note of the connections. Then pull the orange terminal release (see arrow) to release the terminal and pull it out.

1.2. Releasing the CX10x0 system

In order to release the CX10x0 block, pull the white straps at the bottom of the module in the direction of the arrows. They will lock in the extended position. After pulling the terminal release of the power supply unit, the block can be removed carefully from the top-hat rail.

1.3 Separating the power supply unit, the CX10x0 CPU and other components

Place the CX10x0 block onto a suitable support with the front facing down. Then insert a flat screwdriver with dimensions 1.0 x 5.5 x 150 mm into the locking mechanism, and then operating the slider by turning it about 90 degrees. The locking mechanism on the rear affects an approx. 2-3 mm wide clearance of the module latching mechanism, pushing them apart. The plug connectors of the PC 104 interface can then be pulled apart carefully.

2 Assembly of the CPU basic module, the UPS and the power supply unit

2.1 Assembly the the CX10x0 system block

The individual modules are simply plugged together. The PC104 connector plugs should be handled carefully in order to avoid damage. When correctly assembled, no significant gap can be seen between the attached housings.

2.2 Engaging on the top-hat rail

Before engaging the system back on the top-hat rail the user should ensure all white tension straps are pulled down. The user should take care of the space between the terminals and the Embedded PC system. The space for the removed terminal must be kept to reinstall the terminal.

Then fix the CX1020 block on the top hat-rail using the latching straps. You should hear a soft click.

Only apply pressure at insensitive points of the housing (edges). Never apply pressure on the display, the buttons or movable parts of the CX10x0 system.

After successful latching on the top-hat rail the straps should be pushed back to their original position.

2.3 Connecting the Embedded PC to the terminal bus

By reinstalling the once removed terminal the system is connected to the bus.

Finally the wiring must be reinstalled. The removed terminal is reconnected as before. The power supply is now connected via the UPS-connectors. (see chapter connections for details)
