Installation & Configuration Guide
Stage 1: Pre-Installation Preparation (Approx. 15 minutes)
⚠️ Safety and system control must be confirmed before any hardware handling.
- Notify plant operations and confirm shutdown window
- Switch system to safe state (interlocks, pumps, motors stopped)
- Disconnect main power and UPS supply to PLC cabinet
- Wait 5–10 minutes for complete capacitor discharge
Tools required:
- Anti-static wrist strap and mat
- Fluke 115 multimeter (5 V backplane verification)
- Label markers for wiring identification
- Digital camera or mobile phone for documentation
- Screwdriver set (PH1 recommended)
Backup actions:
- Save PLC logic program (Logicmaster / CIMPLICITY environment)
- Record rack slot position
- Document communication settings (baud rate, node ID, IP if applicable)
- Photograph all wiring connections before removal
