Battery Life Advisory
This module uses a Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the date/time settings of the real-time clock and the BIOS settings in CMOS. The battery recharges whenever the module is receiving power and should not need to be replaced for the life of the module. The module must be powered for approximately twenty hours before the battery becomes fully charged.
If the module is left in an unpowered state for approximately 21 or more days, the battery will be completely drained and the module BIOS, date, and time will revert to their default settings. Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure the battery is fully charged. You can tell the battery is fully charged when the Battery State (ERR) LED is OFF.
Note: The battery is not user-replaceable.

1.2Deployment Checklist
Before you begin configuring the module, consider the following questions. Your answers will help you determine the scope of your project and the configuration requirements for a successful deployment.
1 ____________ Will the ILX56-MM require a static IP address for either or both Ethernet ports, or will it obtain IP address(es) from a DHCP Server? Obtain IP address information from your Network Administrator, and then record the IP Address settings in the following table:
Ethernet Ports |
Port 1 |
Port 2 |
DHCP? (Yes/No)
Static IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
2____________ How many controllers and processors will be exchanging data
in your application?
3____________ What kinds of processors need to be linked for your application?
4 |
____________ What network protocols are used for the links? |
5 |
____________ What types of user accounts do you need to create? Users |
|
(to modify configurations) or Administrators (to control configuration access) |
6 |
____________ Which data transfers should happen on a regular timed- |
|
interval basis? Which transfers should happen only on data change or logic |
|
events? |
7____________ Do you need controllers or other communications modules installed in the same chassis as the ILX56-MM?

1.5Setup Jumper
There is one SETUP JUMPER located on the back of the module, labeled J1. The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module's firmware. In "write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module's firmware cannot be overwritten.
The following illustration shows the ILX56-MM jumper configuration, with the Setup Jumper OFF.
If you need to update the firmware, apply the Setup jumper to both pins.
Note: If you are installing the module in a remote rack, you may prefer to leave the Setup pins jumpered. That way, you can update the module's firmware without requiring physical access to the module.

1.6Install the Module in the Rack
If you have not already installed and configured your ControlLogix processor and power supply, please do so before installing the ILX56-MM module. Refer to your Rockwell Automation product documentation for installation instructions.
Warning: You must follow all safety instructions when installing this or any other electronic devices. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in damage to hardware or data, or even serious injury or death to personnel. Refer to the documentation for each device you plan to connect to verify that suitable safety procedures are in place before installing or servicing the device.
After you have checked the placement of the jumper, insert ILX56-MM into the ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by Rockwell Automation to remove and install ControlLogix modules.
You can install or remove ControlLogix system components while chassis power is applied and the system is operating. However, please note the following warning.
Warning: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by:
sending an erroneous signal to your system's actuators causing unintended machine motion or loss of process control
causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Verify that power is removed or the area is non-hazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
1Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and then slide it into the rack until the module is firmly against the backplane connector.
2With a firm but steady push, snap the module into place.
3Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securely in the locking holes of the rack.
4Turn power ON.
Note: If you insert the module improperly, the system may stop working, or may behave
unpredictably.
