Installing the replacement controller

If an option card (module) was damaged when the controller failed, you may need to purchase a new option card. If possible, try to install the option card from the previous controller into the new controller using the same slot as on the old controller.
  1. Install the new controller in the cabinet and plug in the connectors for on-board I/O, remote modules, and your PC.
  2. Apply power and connect the backup batteries.
  3. Set up your PC network adaptor to an IP address that is compatible with the controller’s default IP address: 192.168.1.120.
  4. Open the new controller platform.
  5. Continue with the configuration steps in this chapter.
