General Setup Rules
Installation Recommendations
Introduction In order to ensure that the module operates correctly, certain precautions must be taken when it is inserted and removed, when plugging in and removing connectors on the front panel of the module and when tightening the module fixing screw and the 15-pin SUB D connector.
Inserting and
Removing a
Module
A module can be inserted or removed without switching off the rack power supply.
The module has been designed to allow this operation to be performed with the power supply on to ensure availability of the equipment.
Plugging and
Unplugging
Connectors on the Front Panel of the Module
It is not advisable to plug or unplug the connectors located on the front panel of the module if the sensor/preactuator power supplies are switched on.
Reasons:
●
●
The encoders do not allow simultaneous startup and switching off of the signals and power supplies.
The track outputs may be damaged if they are at state 1 and connected to inductive loads.
Tightening the
Screws and
Locking the
HE10
Connectors
To ensure good electrical contact between the grounds and thus obtain good resistance to electrostatic and electromagnetic interference:
●
● the module fixing screws and those on the 15-pin SUB D connector must be correctly tightened.
❍
❍ tightening torque on the module fixing screw: 2.0 N.m
tightening torque on the 15-pin SUB D connector fixing screws 0.5 N.m
The HE10 connectors must be correctly locked.
