Module Replacement 209

Replacing a Communication Module

This procedure explains how to replace a Communication Module.

The CM does not have hot-spare capability which means communication

CAUTION is disrupted while the module is being replaced.

Procedure
1 If possible, make a note of the diagnostic message, model, and serial numbers.
2 Detach all communication cables from the faulty module.
3 On the faulty module, use a 1/4 inch flat-blade screwdriver to rotate the lock lever
counter-clockwise until the module ejects from the baseplate.
Note If communication has not been disrupted by the fault, removing the module
disrupts communication until the module is replaced. If redundant CM,
replacing the faulty module does not affect communication on this module.
4 Insert the replacement module and use the screwdriver to rotate the lock lever clockwise
to draw the module into the baseplate.
5 The following should occur:
• The Pass indicator should go on and stay on within one minute.
• The Active indicator should go on within one to two minutes.
• The Lock indicator goes off. (If the module is not properly seated, the Lock
indicator stays on and the Active indicator does not go on.)
6 Re-attach all communication cables to the CM.
7 For the faulty module, identify the model and serial numbers. Contact the Invensys
Global Customer Support (GCS) center to obtain a Returned Material Authorization
(RMA) number. Then return the module to Invensys for repair.
