Replacing an LTMR Controller and LTME Expansion Module

Overview

Questions to consider in advance of replacing either an LTMR controller or an LTME expansion module are:

Is the replacement device the same model as the original?
Have the configuration settings of the LTMR controller been saved, and are they available to be transferred to its replacement?

Be sure the motor is turned off before replacing either the LTMR controller or the LTME expansion module.

Replacing the LTMR Controller

The time to plan for the replacement of an LTMR controller is:

When the LTMR controller settings are initially configured, and
Any time that one or more of its settings are subsequently re-configured

Because setting values may not be accessible when the LTMR controller is replaced, for example, in case of device hardware detected failure, you should create a record of setting values whenever they are made.

Using SoMove with the TeSys T DTM, all of the LTMR controller’s configured settings, except for date and time, can be saved to a file. Once saved, you can use SoMove with the TeSys T DTM to transfer these settings either to the original LTMR controller or to its replacement.

NOTE: Only configured settings are saved. Historical statistical data is not saved, and therefore cannot be applied to a replacement LTMR controller.

For information on how to use SoMove software to create, save and transfer configuration setting files, refer to the SoMove Lite Online Help.

Replacing the Expansion Module

The primary consideration in replacing an LTME expansion module, is to replace it with the same model, 24 Vdc or 110-240 Vac, as the original.

Retiring Devices

Both the LTMR controller and the LTME expansion module contain electronic boards that require particular treatment at the end of their useful life. When retiring a device be sure to observe all applicable laws, regulations and practices.
