Section 2: Installing the DSM314 Module
The Motion Mate DSM314 can operate in
any
Series 90-30 CPU, expansion, or remote baseplate
(Series 90-30 release 6.50 or later). The configuration files created by VersaPro Configuration
software must match the physical configuration of the modules. Note: For general Series 90-30
installation and environment considerations, refer to the
Series 90-30 PLC Installation and
Hardware Manual
, GFK-0356.
To install the DSM314 on the baseplate, follow these steps:
1. Use the VersaPro Configuration software or the Hand-Held Programmer to stop the PLC.
This will prevent the local application program, if any, from initiating any command that
may affect the module operation on subsequent power-up.
2. Power down the Series 90-30 PLC system.
3. Align the module with the desired base slot and connector. Tilt the module upward so that
the top rear hook of the module engages the slot on the baseplate top edge.
4. Swing the module down until the connectors mate and the lock-lever on the bottom of the
module snaps into place engaging the baseplate notch.
5. Connect the faceplate shield wire from the ¼ inch blade terminal on the bottom of the module
to a suitable panel earth ground.
6. Refer to Figures 3-10 through 3-23 and Tables 3-7 through 3-14 for I/O wiring requirements.
7. Power up the PLC rack. The Status LED of the Motion Mate DSM314 will turn ON when
the controller has passed its power-up diagnostics.
8. Repeat this procedure for each DSM314 module in your PLC system.
9. Configure the DSM314 module(s) as described in Chapter 4.
The following table lists the DSM314 module current draw and defines the number of modules
that can be installed in a particular PLC system.
The number of modules in a system may be restricted by:
PLC rack power supply capacity
PLC I/O Table space. The DSM module requires the use of %I, %Q, %AI, and %AQ
memory in the PLC’s I/O Table, with the %I and %Q type usually being the most restrictive
of the four. %AI is also restrictive on CPUs that do not support configurable %AQ memory
(such as the 350 CPU). The amount of available memory varies with the model of PLC CPU
to be used.
PLC Configuration data storage capacity
Available PLC memory
The absolute limits for each PLC type must not be exceeded because in some cases they are based
on PLC I/O Table and Configuration data capacity.
The practical number of axes must consider I/O use and sweep time of the entire system.
