10 Install Your FLEX I/O Input Module
Install the Module
Installation of the FLEX I/O module consists of:
• mounting the terminal base unit
• installing the TC, RTD, and mV module into the terminal base unit
• installing the connecting wiring to the terminal base unit
If you are installing your module into a terminal base unit that is already
installed, proceed to the section, Mount the FLEX I/O Module on the
Terminal Base Unit, on page 14.
Mount on a DIN Rail
Install the Terminal Base Unit
1. Remove the cover plug in the male connector of the unit to which you
are connecting this terminal base unit.
Note the following considerations for each type of wiring
configuration:
• Daisychain – AIl modules must be analog or TC, RTD, and mV
modules for this configuration.
• Individual – Use this type of of configuration for any "noisy" DC
digital I/O modules in your system.
• Combination – All modules powered by the same power supply
must be analog or TC, RTD, and mV modules for the combination
type of configuration.
Do not remove or replace a terminal base unit when power is applied.
Interruption of the FlexBus can result in unintended operation or
machine motion.
