Installation and configuration process
1. Installation steps
(1) Basic installation (inside the rack)
In the power-off state, insert the module along the upper and lower rails of the rack, align it with the backplane slot, and press the front end board until the buckle "clicks" to lock.
Secure the module with screws on both sides of the front panel to ensure a secure installation.
Connection cables: Ethernet cable (RJ-45), fieldbus cable (D-sub, requiring sub module connection), power cord (powered by power module, no direct wiring required).
(2) Zone 2 Special Installation
Additional requirements: The enclosure protection level should be ≥ IP54 to ensure heat dissipation (the basic power consumption of the module is 6.5W, and it can reach 12W when equipped with a communication submodule).
Power requirements: PELV/SILV grade safety isolation power supply must be used, in compliance with IEC 61131-2 standard.
Label pasting: The shell needs to be pasted with ATEX compliant labels, and the module comes with an "Ex113GExnA II T4X" label.
2. Configuration process
(1) Tool selection and preliminary preparation
Confirm module OS version: Select the corresponding programming tool (ELOP II Factory/SILworX) based on the model label or front-end LED.
Reference documents: HIMatrix system manual (HI 800 191 E), safety manual (HI 800 023 E), and programming tool help documentation are required.
(2) Core configuration steps
Hardware Mapping: Create a project in the programming tool and configure the CPU module (Slot 2) and I/O module (Slot 3~8) according to the rack slot. There is a slight difference in slot numbers between SILworX and ELOP II Factory (refer to the table below). |Rack slot | SILworX slot number | ELOP II Factory slot number | Module type | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | | | 1 | - | PS 01 power module (no configuration required) | | 2 | 0 (CPU)/1 (COM) | - | CPU/communication module (integrated) | | | 3 | 2 | 1 | I/O module | | 4 | 3 | 2 | I/O module | | | 5~8 | 4~7 | 3~6 | I/O module|
Network configuration: Set the IP address (default 192.168.0.99) and subnet mask to ensure consistency with the PADT (programming computer) network segment; If modifications are required, they can be restored to default values through programming tools or reset functions.
Programming and downloading: Write user programs using IEC 61131-3 standard languages such as Function Block Diagram (FBD), compile them, and download them to the module Flash EPROM.
Security configuration: Set the watchdog time (WDT) and security cycle time according to the security manual, and configure security communication parameters (if applicable).
3. Reset operation (restore default settings)
Applicable scenario: Forgetting administrator account password or IP address conflicts with PADT.
Operation steps:
Disconnect the module power supply and unplug all fieldbus connectors (to avoid interfering with other devices).
Insert a needle shaped insulating material into the reset hole of the front end board, press and hold for ≥ 20 seconds, and at the same time, turn on the power to restart the module.
Reset effect: The IP address is restored to 192.168.0.99, the system ID (SRS) is restored to 6000.0.0, and only the default administrator account (empty password) is activated.
Note: In COM OS versions ≥ 10.42, after resetting, it is necessary to reconfigure the connection parameters and account before downloading the program/OS.

Operation and Diagnosis
1. Running status indication (LED interpretation)
The LED status of the module varies slightly with the CPU OS version, and its core meaning is as follows:
(1) System LED
Meaning of LED color status (CPU OS ≥ V8)
RUN green constantly on and running normally (STOP/RUN status)
RUN green Blinking1 (600ms on/off) is loading a new operating system
RUN green off, non RUN state
ERR red constant light lacks additional function authorization and testing mode
ERR red Blinking1 fault shutdown (hardware/voltage/configuration failure), requiring PADT restart
ERR red goes out without any malfunction
(2) Program LED
STOP (red): Always on=STOP/valid configuration; Blinking=STOP/Invalid configuration.
PROG (yellow): Always on=loading configuration/OS, modifying WDT/safe time/SRS.
Fault (yellow): Blinking=OS damage, invalid configuration, I/O failure.
FORCE (yellow): constantly on=forced function preparation; Flashing=forced function activation.
(3) Communication LED
Ethernet (next to RJ-45): Green=Full Duplex; Yellow=connection is valid; Flashing=data transmission/conflict.
Fieldbus (FB1/FB2): yellow=interface activated; Synchronized flashing=emergency loader activated.
2. Basic operating procedures
(1) Start the process
Confirm that the module is securely installed, the cable connections are correct, and there is no risk of static electricity.
Connect the power module to supply power, and the module will automatically perform LED self-test (all LEDs will briefly light up).
Start the programming tool and establish a communication connection with the module (via IP address).
Download user programs and configuration files to verify the validity of the configuration.
Switch the module to RUN state and confirm normal operation through LED and programming tools.
