2.5 Commitment to read and understand the Manual

Important!

 To avoid personal injury and to avoid property damage to your system

or to your device, you must read and understand all instructions in the manual and all accompanying texts to your device, before installing and operating your device.

 First read the Safety Instructions in the safety chapter.  Obey to all Safety Messages in the manual.  Keep the product DVD providing the product manuals.

2.6 Safety Instructions to avoid Personal Injury

To ensure your own personal safety and to avoid personal injury, you necessarily must read, understand and follow the following safety instructions and safety messages in this manual about danger causing personal injury, before you install and operate your NPLC-C100.

2.6.1 Electrical Shock Hazard

The danger of a lethal electrical shock caused by parts with more than 50V may occur, if you open the PC cabinet to install the PC Card NPLC-C100.

 HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE is present inside of the PC or of the connec-

ting device, into which the PC Card cifX is integrated. Strictly obey to all safety rules provided by the device’s manufacturer in the documentation!

 First disconnect the power plug of the PC or of the connecting device,

before you open the cabinet.

 Make sure, that the power supply is off at the PC or at the connecting

device.

 Open the PC cabinet and install or remove the PC Card NPLC-C100

only after disconnecting power.

An electrical shock is the result of a current flowing through the human body. The resulting effect depends on the intensity and duration of the current and on its path through the body. Currents in the range of approximately ½ mA can cause effects in persons with good health, and indirectly cause injuries resulting from startle responses. Higher currents can cause more direct effects, such as burns, muscle spasms, or ventricular fibrillation.

In dry conditions permanent voltages up to approximately 42.4 V peak or 60 V DC are not considered as dangerous, if the contact area is equivalent to a human hand.

6.2 Internal and External Power Supply

Note: Hardware revision 3 of the slot PLC NPLC-C100 can be supplied

via the PCI bus only with 5 V. Hardware revision 4 of the slot PLC NPLCC100 can be supplied via the PCI bus with 3.3 V respectively 5 V.

The slot PLC can be supplied by 5 V or 3.3 V (via PCI) or by an additional external supply voltage of 24 VDC. The permitted voltage range for external powering is 18 … 30 V. If the external supply voltage reaches a level below 13 V, then the supply of the slot PLC from the external supply voltage is switched off.

6.3 Reset Behaviour

The slot PLC has no connection via the PCI bus to the PC reset signal. This means that a reset of the PC for example when using the front panel reset button of the computer does not influence the slot PLC behavior.

The PowerOn reset will be served from both power sources (internal und external).

6.4 RUN/STOP Switch

The PLC program’s operating condition in the slot PLC can be changed using the switch at the front of the slot PLC and may get the status.

Position Function RUN

The loaded PLC program is executed cyclically. STOP The cyclic execution of the PLC program is stopped. Loa ding a new PLC

program or a firmware update is possible in this state.

10.1 Memory Card

The slot PLC “NPLC-C100” device can be set back to factory settings with a micro SD card and the base firmware on it.

Requirements

 The memory card can have up to 4 GB storage capacity.  The memory card must be formatted in the FAT16 format (no FAT32).  The HDSC format is not supported.

Preparation

Copy all files from the directory "Firmware\...\Memory Card Image" including the file STARTUP.INI and the directory BACKUP and all

subdirectories onto an empty micro SD card to the card's root directory.

Procedure

1. Have the SD card ready with the copied image

2. Power down the PC with the slot PLC inserted. If used, switch off the external power supply.

3. Insert the card into the SD card slot till it clicks into place

4. Re-Power the PC



The device loads the base firmware and indicates this by the following states of the SYS LED: Fast change between green and yellow (fo

appr. 8 s), then yellow on (for appr. 10 s), then off for a short moment and finally it turns to green on.



The device then has factory settings.

5. Remove the SD card from the SD card slot
