Pre-Installation Planning
Overview
Methodical pre-planning of an installation will preclude false starts and errors that can cause costly
hardware re-configuration and/or poor system performance. Some considerations in pre-installation
planning should include:
• Power Supply Budgeting
• Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and other characteristics of the physical plant
site.
• Equipment placement, particularly if the locations of field devices warrant the use of separate and/or
remote IO hardware.
• Selection and placement of ancillary equipment such as equipment enclosures, conduits, and raceways
for wiring and cabling.
