Environment and Enclosure

Programmable Electronic Systems (PES)

ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrialenvironment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined inIEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment accordingto IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficultieswith electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments dueto conducted and radiated disturbances.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within

an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmentalconditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personalinjury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must havesuitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) ifnon-metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the useof a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additionalinformation regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required tocomply with certain product safety certifications.

In addition to this publication, see:

Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additionalinstallation requirements, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.

NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations ofthe degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

ATTENTION Personnel responsible for the application of safety-relatedprogrammable electronic systems (PES) shall be aware of the safetyrequirements in the application of the system and shall be trained in using thesystem.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Removing Module While Under Power (RIUP)

ATTENTION This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can causeinternal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines whenyou handle this equipment. Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.

Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.

Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.

Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.

Use a static-safe workstation, if available. Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in

use.

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 locationinstallations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous beforeproceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts onboth the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may createelectrical resistance that can affect module operation.

The 1756-BATM can be used with series A controllers, but it cannotbe used with series B controllers. Series B controllers use batterypower differently than previous controllers and therefore batteryconsiderations for this series controller vary.

For more information about determining what battery to use, see theControlLogix Controllers Selection Guide, publication 1756-SG001.

Required Software

To upgrade controller firmware and to program the controller, usethese software components:

RSLogix 5000 programming software

RSLinx Classic communication software

IMPORTANT The 1756-BATM battery module supports memory retention only when thecontroller is in the chassis and the battery module is properly connected.

Battery Connection and Replacement

This product contains a hermetically-sealed lithium battery that mayneed to be replaced during the life of the product.

At the end of its life, the battery contained in this product should becollected separately from any unsorted municipal waste.

The collection and recycling of batteries helps protect the environmentand contributes to the conservation of natural resources as valuablematerials are recovered.

WARNING When you connect or disconnect the battery an electrical arc can occur. Thiscould cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure thatpower is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.For Safety information on the handling of lithium batteries, including handlingand disposal of leaking batteries, see Guidelines for Handling LithiumBatteries, publication AG-5.4.

Insert the Controller into the Chassis

When installing a ControlLogix controller, you can:

place the controller in any slot.

use multiple controllers in the same chassis.

You can install or remove a ControlLogix controller while chassispower is on and the system is operating.

1. Insert the key into the controller.

2. Turn the key to the PROG position.

3. Align the circuit board with the top and bottom guides in thechassis.

4. Slide the module into the chassis.

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

installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardousbefore proceeding.

Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both thecontroller and its mating connector on the chassis. Worn contacts may createelectrical resistance that can affect controller operation.


20/44



5. Verify that the controller is flush with the power supply orother installed modules.

6. Verify that the top and bottom latches are engaged.

After you have inserted the controller into the chassis, you may needto reference the Status Indicators section on page 29 for moreinformation related to the state of the controller.

Remove the Controller from the Chassis

You can install or remove a controller while chassis power is on andthe system is operating. If you remove the controller, all of thedevices owned by the controller go to their configured fault state.

1. Press the locking tabs on the top and bottom of the controller.

2. Slide the controller out of the chassis.

WARNING When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, anelectrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous locationinstallations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardousbefore proceeding.

Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both thecontroller and its mating connector in the chassis. Worn contacts may createelectrical resistance that can affect controller operation.

Make Network Connections

Before you can upgrade your controller firmware, you must make a

network connection to the controller.

Network connection options include:

Connecting using a serial cable, see Connect Using a Serial

Cable on page 21.

Installing and configuring a communication module in thechassis with the controller, refer to the installation instructionsfor the communication module.

Connect Using a Serial Cable

To connect a workstation to the serial port, you can make your ownserial cable or use one of these cables:

1756-CP3 serial cable

1747-CP3 cable from the SLC product family (if you use thiscable, the controller door may not close)

TIP When upgrading your controller firmware, we recommend you use anetwork connection other than the serial cable. This is because serialconnections are much slower than other communication connections.

WARNING If you connect or disconnect the serial cable with power applied to this moduleor the serial device on the other end of the cable, 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.

Troubleshoot a Major Fault

Complete these steps to troubleshoot a major fault.

1. Go online with RSLogix 5000 software and open the controllerproperties.

2. Click the Major Faults tab to view recent major faults.

3. Use the Logix5000 Controllers System Reference,

publication 1756-QR107, to interpret the controller fault codes.

4. Take corrective actions recommended in the system reference.

5. Toggle the keyswitch from PROG to RUN to PROG.

6. Test the program to verify that the fault has been corrected.
