Precautions

1. Install the module securely on a 35mm DIN rail and keep it away from high-power inverters, motors, and other strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use shielded Cat5e/Cat6 cables for Ethernet wiring and maintain a distance of at least 30cm from power cables.
2. Follow the product manual strictly for wiring, ensuring correct connection of Ethernet ports and RS485 terminals. Avoid exceeding the maximum communication distance to prevent signal attenuation or transmission failure.
3. Maintain the operating voltage within the range of 20.4V DC – 28.8V DC. It is recommended to use a stable power supply with surge protection to avoid voltage fluctuations affecting module performance.
4. Configure communication parameters (IP address, protocol type, baud rate) using GE’s dedicated software, ensuring consistency with on-site devices to prevent protocol mismatches and communication failures.
5. Conduct regular inspections of the module’s status indicators and network connections. Clean dust from the ports periodically and use the built-in diagnostic function to monitor communication status, addressing anomalies promptly to avoid fault expansion.
6. Store the module in a dry, well-ventilated, and vibration-free environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive gases. When replacing the module, back up configuration parameters first to ensure seamless system integration after replacement.
