Installing the Card
If your system did not have a Modbus Card pre-
installed at the factory, follow these steps to install
it. Otherwise, skip to the next section of this
document.
Before you begin, first inspect your terminal card to
determine if there is another expansion card (such as a 4-20mA Input Card) already installed in your PF2100
system. There are separate procedures later in this section for the case where there is another card preinstalled
and the case where there is not.
Procedure When Another Expansion Card is Preinstalled
1. Shut off the power to the PF2100 system.
2. Remove the 4 machine screws from the expansion
card that is already installed in your PF2100 system.
See Figure 5.
3. Remove the 4 machine screws and 4 standoffs from
the new Modbus Card that you are about to install.
See Figure 6.
4. Attach the 4 standoffs to the expansion card that is
already installed in your PF2100 system. Tighten to 4
in*lbs. Do not over tighten or the standoffs may break. See Figure 7.
5. Carefully install the new Modbus Card on top of the existing expansion card such that the long pinned
header on the Modbus Card mates with the socket on the old expansion card. Be careful not to bend any
pins while doing this. Continue to apply pressure to the Modbus Card until the header is fully inserted. See
Figure 8.
6. Finish attaching the new Modbus Card to the old expansion card using the 4 machine screws that were previously removed. Tighten to 4 in*lbs. See
Figure 8.
7. You are done installing the card! You should have the following extra parts left over which you can either discard or keep for future use: 4 machine
screws and 4 hex nuts.
