Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC rack is powered down before inserting or removing the CPU module to prevent electrical damage or data corruption.
• The module must be seated firmly into the designated CPU slot of the Series 90-30 baseplate to ensure proper backplane connection.
• Maintain adequate ventilation within the control cabinet to keep the operating temperature within the specified 0 to 60 degC range.
• Use proper ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) handling procedures when touching the module circuitry.
• Ensure that the backplane power supply is correctly sized to handle the 350mA current draw of the CPU in addition to other modules in the rack.
