Chapter 2 Install the 1769-L3x Controllers
The optional industrial CompactFlash card provides nonvolatile memory for a CompactLogix
controller. The card is not required for controller operation.
To install a CompactFlash card, push the locking tab to
the right and insert the industrial CompactFlash card
into the socket on the front of the controller.
The label of the CompactFlash card faces toward the
left. Match the orientation arrow on the card with the
arrow on the front of the controller.
To remove the CompactFlash card, push the locking tab
away from the CompactFlash card and pull the
CompactFlash card from the socket.
Assemble the System
The controller can be attached to an adjacent I/O module or power supply before
or after mounting.
Refer to the illustration when installing a controller.
1. Disconnect line power.
2. Check that the lever of the adjacent module (A) is in the unlocked (fully
right) position.
WARNING: When you insert or remove the CompactFlash card while power is
on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous
location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
