FCP's do not have such cables. In both module cases, pre connection of cables is viable if it is the Shadow. However if you are just plugging a FCP or ZCP into a system as the Primary module then caution should be taken to not attach cables unless you absolutely know it's personality that is resident in memory... So in the Primary case...no cables...letterbug reader...etc.... -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of William C Ricker Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 9:29 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] FCM/CP Insertion ( I'll try Again ) A dilemma Both v8.5 and 8.6 release notes clearly say that when adding the second of a fault tolerant pair of CP or FCM, 1 Connect the cables to the station 2 Insert the module with it's partner In the ZCP User Guide it specifically says not to disconnect the cables, put the module in, then wait for specific operation of the LEDs, and only then connect the cables. (It then specifies which screw to tighten first.) In the FCP User Guide, it specifically says to connect the cables first, then put the module onto the baseplate next to the partner, tighten the screws and observe that it marries. I haven't yet found a book which specifies the FCM startup sequence. So, if I have a ZCP, do I use the User Guide method or the Release Notes method? Any insight?
