Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• ESD Protection: Always handle the module using proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention techniques, such as wearing a grounded wrist strap.
• System Power: Ensure the main system power is disconnected before installing or removing the CPU module from the rack backplane to prevent electrical damage.
• Mounting: Ensure the module is fully seated in the designated CPU slot and that the retaining screws are tightened to provide a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
• Environment: Maintain adequate clearance around the PLC rack to ensure proper airflow and cooling, keeping the ambient temperature within the specified 0 to 60 degC operating range.
• Cable Routing: Keep communication and I/O cables routed away from high-voltage lines and sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to maintain signal integrity.

FAQ

Is the TI435-CPU compatible with previous 435-series controllers?

Yes, the TI435-CPU is designed as a direct, drop-in replacement for standard 435-CPU and 435-CPU-1Q models, requiring no changes to existing control logic.

What is the primary power source for this module?

The module draws its required operating voltage directly from the PLC backplane (5 VDC).
