HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Installing a Module
WARNING
– Disconnect all power to the unit before installing or removing modules.

For hazardous location installation the following shall be taken into consideration:

  • This device is open-type and must be mounted in a suitable dust-tight end-enclosure in accordance with articles 500 and 502 of the NEC and positioned so only the face  of the display is exposed.
  •  Must be wired using Division 2 wiring methods as specified in article 501-4(b), 502-4(b), and 503-3(b) of the National Electric Code, NFPA 70 for installation within the  United States, or as specified in section 19-152 of Canadian Electrical Code for installation in Canada.
  • Combinations of equipment in your system are subject to investigation by the local Authority having jurisdiction at the time of installation.

To a 4.3 inch Host
**** It is recommended that a relay module be installed in Module Position 1 only (shown below).

  1. To install a module on the tall side of a 4.3 inch host, align the latches of the module with the host case such that the backplane connector shroud on the module cover aligns with the backplane connector opening in the host case.
  2. To install a module on the short side of a 4.3 inch host, rotate the module 180 degrees and align the latches on the host with the module case so that the I/O connector is facing downward.
  3. Insert the host latches into the openings in the module case by slightly deflecting the latches inward.
  4. Press the module into the host case evenly until the latches engage.
  5. Install Module Locks between each module as shown by fully inserting the legs of the Module Locks into the slots in the case until the button on the Module Lock aligns with the hole provided in the case. Press fit the button into the hole. Repeat this installation between each module in your system to provide the most secure installation.
  6. When you have finished adding modules, the rear cover should be installed in the same manner as the modules.

To a 3.5 inch Host
**** It is recommended that a relay module be installed directly onto the back of the host (shown below), not on the back of any other module.

  1. Align the latches of the module with the host case such that the backplane connector shroud on the module cover aligns with the backplane connector opening in the  host case.
  2. Insert the module latches into the openings in the host case by slightly deflecting the latches inward.
  3. Press the module into the host case evenly until the latches engage.
  4. Install Module Locks between each module as shown by fully inserting the legs of the Module Locks into the slots in the case until the button on the Module Lock aligns with the hole provided in the case. Press fit the button into the hole. Repeat this installation between each module in your system to provide the most secure installation.
  5. When you have finished adding modules, the rear cover should be installed in the same manner as the modules.

Removing a Module
To remove a module from the assembly, first remove the module locks using a small screwdriver as shown. Then disengage the latch by deflecting the latch inward or by using  a small screw driver, inserting it into the slot in the side of the case, and prying the latch inward to disengage the latch. Once the latches are disengaged, pull on the  module and remove it from the assembly.

ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS

Ethernet communications can be established at either 10
BASE-T or 100 BASE-TX. The PM-50 Ethernet module’s RJ45 jack is wired as a NIC (Network Interface Card).
PM-50 Ethernet module’s auto-detects remote transmit and receive pairs and correctly assigns the transmit and receive pairs for the PM-50 Ethernet module. This extremely  useful feature enables the user to use whichever type of cable (cross-over or straight) is available.
The Ethernet connector contains two LEDs. A yellow LED in the upper right, and a green LED in the upper left. The LEDs represent the following statuses:

LED COLOR DESCRIPTION
YELLOW Solid Link established.
YELLOW flashing Data being transferred.
GREEN (OFF) 10 BASE-T Communications
GREEN (ON) 100 BASE-TX Communications

On the side label of each PM-50 Ethernet module is a unique 12-digit MAC address.

LEDs

LED/STATE MEANING
Fast blink Module is initializing.
