Structural features and installation requirements
3.1 Structural Design
The controller module adopts a standardized rack structure, equipped with a status indicator panel and operation buttons on the front, including power indicator lights, operation indicator lights, fault indicator lights, and redundant status indicator lights, which can intuitively reflect the working status of the module; There are memory expansion slots and communication interfaces on the side for easy on-site debugging and maintenance. Internally, a modular circuit design is adopted, which is divided into power module, CPU core module, communication module, and I/O interface module. Each module is tightly connected through an internal bus and has complete electromagnetic shielding measures to effectively reduce interference between modules. The bottom of the module is equipped with standardized guide rail buckles and fixing screw holes, which can be quickly installed into ABB standard I/O racks and support hot plugging (in redundant configuration). When replacing the module, there is no need to interrupt the system operation.
3.2 Installation specifications
1. Before installation, it is necessary to confirm the module model, order number, and compatibility with the system to ensure compatibility with the on-site control system (such as Freelance 800F). Check the appearance of the module for any damage and ensure that the interface is not bent or oxidized.
2. The installation of the rack must comply with ABB standard dimensions, with flat and deformation free rack rails. The installation environment should be away from strong magnetic fields, high temperature heat sources, and corrosive gases. The cabinet should be well ventilated, and the ambient temperature should be controlled within the range of 0 ℃~60 ℃.
3. When installing the module, it should be smoothly pushed along the rack guide rail to ensure that the bottom interface of the module is fully engaged with the rack bus, and fastened with fixing screws to prevent loosening and poor contact. The screw torque should be controlled between 1.5N · m~2N · m.
4. When wiring, it is necessary to distinguish between power circuits, I/O signal circuits, and communication circuits. Strong and weak electrical circuits should be wired separately, with a spacing of not less than 20cm. Analog circuits should use shielded twisted pair cables, with the shielding layer grounded at one end to reduce interference.
When configuring redundancy, two modules need to be installed in adjacent slots of the same rack and connected through dedicated redundant cables to ensure stable transmission of redundant signals. After installation, redundant parameters need to be configured through system software.
6. After installation, check the correct polarity connection of the module power supply to avoid module damage caused by reverse connection. Then, conduct an insulation resistance test before powering on. The insulation resistance between the power circuit and the ground should be ≥ 50M Ω (500V megohmmeter).
