Required Tools and
Equipment
Chapter 2
Quick Start for Experienced Users
This chapter helps you to get started using the Backup Scanner. We
base the procedures here on the assumption that you have a basic
understanding of SLC 500 products.
You must:
• understand electronic process control
• be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions for generating
the electronic signals that control your application
Because it is a start-up guide for experienced users, this chapter does
not contain detailed explanations about the procedures listed. It does,
however, reference other chapters in this book where you can get
more detailed information. It also references other documentation that
may be helpful if you are unfamiliar with programming techniques or
system installation requirements.
If you have any questions, or are unfamiliar with the terms used or
concepts presented in the procedural steps, always read the
referenced chapters and other recommended documentation before
trying to apply the information.
This chapter:
• tells you what tools and equipment you need
• lists preliminary considerations
• describes when to address, configure and program the module
• explains how to install and wire the module
• discusses system power-up procedures
Have the following tools and equipment ready:
• medium blade screwdriver
• programming equipment
• termination kit (package of resistors and ring lug included with
the scanner)
• approximately 15 inches of #20 AWG for grounding the drain
shield to the SLC chassis (for Series A retrofits)
• an adequate length of RIO communication cable (Belden 9463)
for your specific application
