    Review the implications of each restart type carefully to select the appropriate method. There might be several methods for the same type of restart. IMPORTANT NOTE: While there are several methods for the warm and cold restarts, ABB recommends restarts from PCCU32 (Entry mode or device loader).

  • Page 190: Warm Restart From The Device Loader

    This procedure uses the RESET button on the RMC to restart the device. It causes the device to restart with the running (warm) configuration. If the RMC is installed inside an enclosure, you must have access to the interior of the enclosure to access the RMC switch. To complete a warm restart using the reset button: Lift the cover over the TFIO ports.

  • Page 192: Cold Restart From The Device Loader

    This procedure performs the cold start from the 32-bit loader. Follow this procedure on a local or remote Loader connection. However, ABB highly recommends performing the cold restart locally. The cold restart causes the device to restart using the startup (cold) configuration.

  • Page 193: Cold Restart From Terminal Mode

    This procedure performs the cold start from the terminal mode. It causes the device to restart using the startup (cold) configuration. Perform the procedure on either a local or remote connection. However, ABB highly recommends local cold restarts with this method. Invoke Terminal mode from entry mode or from the PCCU splash (main) screen.

    Figure 8-37: Restart using factory configuration Change the clock When applications are instantiated on the RMC, a change to the clock for daylight savings time, or time drift of the instantiated applications, can affect the time on log period entries. A clock change must preserve the integrity of accounting audit trails.

  • Page 196: Remove And Restore Power

    IMPORTANT NOTE: A backward clock change uses two records to maintain data integrity to ensure that it does not overwrite previously recorded data. If it is necessary to make small backward time changes of less than one hour, wait until the current hour has progressed far enough to make a change that does not cross an hour boundary.

    Securely wrap the Totalflow component in protective anti-static packaging before returning it for repair. Call the ABB main office number on the last page of this manual, and ask for a Return Authorization number (RA). Affix the number to the outside of the return package. The customer prepays for shipment.

  • Page 198: Remove The Housing Cover From The Base

    IMPORTANT NOTE: It is possible to remove the housing cover while the RMC is on the DIN rail. However, ABB recommends that you remove the RMC from the DIN rail for optimal positioning of the RMC and better access to the board and its components.

    Verify that the LL battery alarm does not display on the LCD. Or measure the lithium battery to verify that it registers more than 3.6 V. If the lithium battery is low, replace the lithium battery first according to section 8.8.5. Remove charger and battery cables from the RMC for the battery mode according to section 8.7.1.

  • Page 201: Replace The Lcd Assembly

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The new board requires calibration of AIs and AOs. Do not use calibration files from the saved configuration for the new board. Follow company policies to determine if calibration is necessary before resetting the clock. Setting the clock affects the time stamps assigned to calibration events and files, as well as collection data.
