cRIO-FRC Operating Instructions and Specifications

Removing I/O Modules from the Chassis

Complete the following steps to remove a C Series I/O module from the 
chassis.

1.

Make sure that no I/O-side power is connected to the I/O module. The 
chassis power can be on when you remove I/O modules.

2.

Squeeze the latches on both sides of the module and pull the module 
out of the chassis.

Connecting the Chassis to a Network

Connect the chassis to an Ethernet network using RJ-45 Ethernet port 1 on 
the controller front panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better 
shielded, twisted-pair Ethernet cable to connect the chassis

 

to an Ethernet 

hub, or use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the chassis directly to a 
computer.

Caution

To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation, 

do

not 

use a cable longer than 100 m. 

If you need to build your own cable, refer to the 

Cabling

 section for more 

information about Ethernet cable wiring connections.

The host computer communicates with the chassis

 

over a standard Ethernet 

connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must configure 
the chassis

 

on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither the host 

computer nor the chassis is connected to a network, you can connect the 
two directly using a crossover cable.

Next you need to assign an IP address to the chassis. For information about 
assigning an IP address and setting up your network, refer to the 

FRC 

Control System Manual
