1.6 Install the Module in the Rack
If you have not already installed and configured your ControlLogix processor and
power supply, please do so before installing the ILX56-MM module. Refer to your
Rockwell Automation product documentation for installation instructions.
Warning: You must follow all safety instructions when installing this or any other electronic
devices. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in damage to hardware or data, or even
serious injury or death to personnel. Refer to the documentation for each device you plan to
connect to verify that suitable safety procedures are in place before installing or servicing the
device.
After you have checked the placement of the jumper, insert ILX56-MM into the
ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by Rockwell
Automation to remove and install ControlLogix modules.
You can install or remove ControlLogix system components while chassis power
is applied and the system is operating. However, please note the following
warning.
Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc
can occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by:
sending an erroneous signal to your system's actuators causing unintended machine motion or
loss of process control
causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Verify that power is removed or the area is non-hazardous 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.
1 Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and then slide it into the
rack until the module is firmly against the backplane connector.
2 With a firm but steady push, snap the module into place.
3 Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securely
in the locking holes of the rack.
4 Turn power ON.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working, or may behave
unpredictably.
