Short DescriptionΒΆ
The processor module is a central unit for AC500 with high performance.
Each processor module can operate up to 2 communication modules via its communication module interface. The communication modules are mounted on the left side of the processor module. On the right side of the processor module, up to 10 digital or analog decentralized communication interface modules can be attached. Each of these I/O modules requires its own I/O terminal unit, whose type depends on the module type.
Note
For a description of the mounting, disassembling and the electrical connection of the I/O modules, please refer to the System Assembly, Construction and Connection chapter Mounting and Demounting the Processor Module PM595.
Warning
:strong:Removal/Insertion under power
The devices are not designed for removal or insertion under power. Because of unforeseeable consequences, it is not allowed to plug or unplug devices with the power being ON.
Make sure that all voltage sources (supply and process voltage) are switched off before you
- connect or disconnect any signal or terminal block
- remove, mount or replace a module.
Disconnecting any powered devices while energized in a hazardous location could result in an electric arc, which could create a flammable ignition resulting in fire or explosion.
Make sure that power is removed and that the area has been thoroughly checked to ensure that flammable materials are not present prior to proceeding.
The devices must not be opened when in operation. The same applies to the network interfaces.
