Installation & Configuration Guide

Pre-Installation Preparation (Estimated Time: 30–45 Minutes)

⚠️ This is not a standard PLC swap. It’s a safety system CPU replacement, so coordination matters more than tools.

Safety and system preparation:

1. Notify operations, ESD engineers, and control room
2. Confirm SIS bypass strategy (if permitted)
3. Put unit in safe state (shutdown or controlled protection mode)
4. Isolate power to Tricon chassis if required by procedure
5. Wait at least 5 minutes for full discharge

Tools required:

• Anti-static wrist strap (mandatory)
• Laptop with TriStation 1131 installed
• Fluke 115 or equivalent multimeter
• Label tags for rack mapping
• Camera for backplane and module reference

Backup checklist:

• Upload complete Tricon application logic
• Save current configuration database
• Record firmware version of all MPs
• Photograph chassis slot arrangement

说实话，这一步如果省略，后面90%的“莫名其妙故障”都会变成现场加班问题。

Removal of Existing Module (Estimated Time: 15–20 Minutes)

1. Confirm module fault status via diagnostics
2. Ensure system is not actively voting on critical shutdown path
3. Remove front protective cover if present
4. Disconnect any diagnostic or serial interfaces
5. Release chassis locking mechanism
6. Pull module straight out — avoid angled force

⚠️ Critical point:
Do not touch TriBus backplane pins. Even slight bending can cause intermittent SIS instability later.
