Installation and Programming Notes

Installation requires careful planning. The module must be securely inserted into the designated slot (usually slot 0 or 1) of an RX7i compatible rack. Proper grounding and power supply specifications must be strictly adhered to. Programming and configuration are accomplished using GE's Proficy® Machine Edition software. Regular maintenance involves monitoring the controller status via its LED indicators and ensuring the program memory is backed up securely after any modifications.
