Maintenance
14.1
Removing and inserting I/O modules
Requirement
Remove or insert front connectors and I/O modules only when the voltage is switched off.
NOTICE
Physical damage can occur
If you install or uninstall front connectors and/or I/O modules with switched-on voltage, this
can lead to undefined conditions in your plant.
The S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system may be damaged as a
result.
Therefore only install/uninstall front connectors and/or I/O modules with switched-off
voltage.
Therefore during the planning of a plant always make sure to comply with the necessary,
pertinent standards and safety guidelines.
14.2
Replacing front cover/ display
Exchanging the front cover
The front cover is pluggable. You can remove or replace the front cover during operation
(RUN). Removing or replacing the front cover has no effect on the running CPU.
To remove the front cover from the CPU, follow these steps:
1. Flip up the front cover until the front cover stands at a 90° angle to the front of the
module.
2. In the upper area of the front cover simultaneously press on the anchor(s) and pull the
front cover forward and away.
3. Insert the new front panel (at a 90° angle to the module) from the front into the anchor(s)
until they audibly engage.
4. Flip the front cover down into place.
