8.6 Replacing the SmartAmp AIB Chassis
This procedure provides details on how to replace the SmartAmp AIB chassis on a Cobra
PLC robot.
Removing the SmartAmp AIB Chassis
1. Switch off the PLC Server.
2. Switch off the 24 VDC input supply to the chassis.
3. Switch off the 200/240VAC input supply to the chassis.
4. Disconnect the 24 VDC supply cable from the chassis +24 VDC input connector.
See Figure 4-2 on page 48 for locations of connectors.
5. Disconnect the 200/240VAC supply cable from the chassis AC Input connector.
6. Disconnect the XSLV cable from the chassis XSLV connector.
7. Disconnect the 1394 cable from the chassis SmartServo connector.
8. Disconnect any other cables, which may be connected to the chassis, such as XIO,
RS-232, or any others.
9. Using a 5 mm Allen key, carefully unscrew the chassis securing screw. See Figure
8-2. Note that the screw does not need to be completely removed in order to
remove the chassis, as this screw is captured on the chassis heat sink.
Figure 8-2.

10. While holding the chassis heat sink, carefully and slowly lower the chassis down
(see Figure 8-3 on page 152), so that enough access is available to remove the
internal cables. The chassis can be laid flat or placed to the right side of the robot
for better access.
CAUTION: Follow appropriate ESD procedures during the
removal/replacement phases.
