Precautions
- Installation Norms: ALSTOM PIB310 is installed with 35mm standard DIN rail card, ensure the module is clamped firmly during installation, and keep a distance of ≥8cm from the surrounding high-power heating equipment to ensure good heat dissipation; do not stack other components on the module surface to avoid blocking the heat dissipation holes.
- Power Supply Requirements: Provide pure DC 24V power supply for the module, and configure surge protectors and power filters at the power input end to avoid damage to the internal circuit of the module caused by power grid fluctuations and excessive clutter; it is strictly forbidden to connect AC voltage to the power input end to prevent the module from being burned.
- Wiring Operation: Strictly distinguish the power supply end, communication end and each input channel during wiring, and fasten the wiring terminals with a professional torque wrench to avoid poor contact leading to abnormal signal collection; the signal line is recommended to use shielded wire and single-end grounding to reduce electromagnetic interference.
- Hot Swap Operation: Although hot swap is supported, it is necessary to disconnect the signal input of the corresponding channel first before plugging and unplugging the module to avoid damage to the module or the main control system caused by instantaneous current impact; hold the module buckle when plugging and unplugging, and it is strictly forbidden to pull the line directly.
- Parameter Debugging: Debug the module parameters through Alstom’s original PLC programming software, and it is strictly forbidden to modify the parameters with non-original software; check the module communication status and channel signal collection status one by one after debugging to ensure that all indicators are normal.
- Environmental Protection: Although it has an IP65 protection grade, avoid placing ALSTOM PIB310 directly in water or in a strong corrosive gas environment; for high-corrosion sites such as petrochemical industry, regularly clean the dust and condensation on the module surface with dry compressed air.
- Communication Settings: Unify the communication protocol and baud rate with the PLC/DCS main control system in advance before docking; when using remote communication, add a signal amplifier to the communication line to avoid signal attenuation leading to abnormal communication.
- On-site Docking: When docking with on-site sensors and switches, confirm the signal type (NPN/PNP) in advance, and do not connect the over-range signal to the module to avoid damage to the input channel; the on-site equipment should be grounded reliably to reduce the interference of the equipment itself on the signal.
- Daily Maintenance: Regularly check the module’s running indicator lights, wiring terminals and shell temperature during daily maintenance. If the indicator lights flash, the terminals are loose or the temperature is abnormal (>60℃), stop the machine for troubleshooting immediately; regularly check the grounding status of the shielded wire to ensure reliable grounding.
- Spare Parts Replacement: When the module fails or the components are damaged, replace them with Alstom’s original spare parts and the same model module, and it is strictly forbidden to use non-original spare parts or cross-model replacement; recheck the signal collection status of all channels after replacement to ensure consistency with the original system parameters.
- Storage and Transportation: Unused ALSTOM PIB310 should be stored in a dry and ventilated environment with a temperature of 0℃~+35℃ and a humidity of ≤60%, avoiding direct sunlight, rain and violent collision; use the original shockproof, moisture-proof and anti-static packaging during transportation, and isolate the modules with anti-static foam to prevent the internal chip from being damaged by static electricity.
