Installing the extension module at the CX20x0 system
![]() | Damage to the contacts Incorrect installation may result in damage to the contacts of the fieldbus modules. The fieldbus modules may only be attached on the left-hand side of the basic CPU module. |
A maximum of four fieldbus modules can be attached to the basic CPU module via the internal PCI Express bus. In delivery state the fieldbus module is equipped with a protective cap for the bus connector.
Before continuing, connect the fieldbus module to the basic CPU module.
Prerequisites for this step:
- Exit the software and shut down the CX20x0 hardware configuration.
- Switch off the power supply.
Install the fieldbus module as follows:
- 1. Put a screwdriver into the recess on the short side of the protective cap and lever it off.
- 2. Remove the protective cap to expose the bus connector.
- 3. Insert the fieldbus module on the left-hand side of the basic CPU module.
- 4. The module clicks into the basic CPU module.
- The fieldbus module has been installed successfully, if the individual modules were connected straight and flush.
Next, you can install the bar clips, thereby reinforcing interlocking of the modules.
