Chapter 2 Install Your 1734 POINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter

Replace An Adapter

Use these procedures to install a replacement POINT I/O adapter to an existing
system.

1. Disconnect the Ethernet connector(s) from the adapter.
2. Pull up on the Removable Terminal Block (RTB) handle to remove the

terminal block.

3. Remove the adjacent module from its mounting base.
4. Use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the DIN rail locking screw

(orange) to a vertical position. This releases the locking mechanism.

5. Lift the adapter straight up to remove.
6. Slide the safety end cap up to remove it, which exposes the backplane and

power connections.

7. Position the replacement adapter vertically above the DIN rail, making

certain the DIN rail locking screw (orange) is in the horizontal position.

8. Slide the adapter down, allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the

adjacent module.

9. Press firmly to seat the adapter on the DIN rail, noting that the adapter

locking mechanism will snap into place.

10. Set the network address on the network address thumbwheel.
11. Insert the end of the Removable Terminal Block opposite the handle into

the Removable Terminal Block base unit, noting that this end has a curved
section that engages with the base unit.

12. Rotate the Removable Terminal Block into the wiring base until it locks

into place.

13. Replace the adjacent module in its mounting base.
14. Reconnect the Ethernet cable(s) to the adapter.
15. Set the IP Address for this module (see

Set the Network Address

in

chapter

3

).

16. Configure the adapter’s chassis size.

ATTENTION: Do not discard the end cap. Use this end cap to cover the
exposed interconnections on the last mounting base on the DIN rail.
Failure to do so could result in equipment damage or injury from electric
shock.

WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane
power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion
in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts
on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create
electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
