Installation Requirements–Series 494 Hardware
Software settings Software is used to define the location (address) of each board used in the
system. Controller software uses this information to locate and communicate
with each board. In addition, there are other software settings that define
hardware parameters.
Blank chassis panels
To help ensure proper ventilation, each blank slot in a Series 494 Chassis must
have a blank chassis panel.
Chassis grounding
The controller will not function correctly if the chassis is not grounded properly.
I/O carrier settings The Model 494.40 I/O Carrier board has a number of hardware settings that must
be set before you install the board. These settings include:
• Address switch settings (required)
• The installation of bridge-completion resistors (optional)
• The installation of shunt-calibration resistors (optional)
Interlock jumper plugs
Each system includes a system jumper plug kit. If interlock/E-Stop inputs are not
used, you must install a jumper plug to maintain the integrity of those interlocks.
