Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical
equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State
Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or
online at http://www.ab.com/manuals/gi) describes some important differences between solid
state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also
because of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for
applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this
equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes.
Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation,
Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the
examples and diagrams.

Environment and Enclosure Information
Burn Hazard
Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (e.g., drive or motor) to alert
people that surfaces may have dangerous temperatures.
Attention
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC
publication 60664-1) at altitudes up to 2000 meters without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties
with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due
to conducted and radiated disturbances.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within
an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental
conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts.The enclosure must have
suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,
complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if
non-metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use
of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to
comply with certain product safety certifications.
NOTE: See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different
types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as
well as the Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1 (“Industrial Automation Wiring
and Grounding Guidelines”), for additional installation requirements pertaining
to this equipment.

WARNING
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical
arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be
sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated
electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its
mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect
module operation.
WARNING
If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power applied to this
module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause
an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or
the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
The following information applies
when operating this equipment in
hazardous locations:

Install or Remove the Module Under Power
This module is designed to be installed or removed while chassis power is
applied. Rockwell Automation recommends that you stop all data collection
services before you remove the module.
Wire the Ethernet Connector
Use an RJ45 connector to connect to the Ethernet. Wire the connector
according to the following illustration:
WARNING
When you insert or remove a module while backplane power is on, an
electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or
property damage by:
•sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field device
causing unintended machine motion or loss of process control.
•causing an explosion in a hazardous environment.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical
resistance that can affect module operation.

Connect the Module to the Ethernet Network
Attach the RJ45 connector the Ethernet port on the front of the module as
shown.
WARNING
If you connect or disconnect the Ethernet cable with power applied to this
module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
IMPORTANT
We recommend connecting the module to the network
via a 100 MB Ethernet switch, which will reduce
collisions and lost packets and increase network
bandwidth. For detailed EtherNet connection
information, see the ControlLogic Ethernet/IP Bridge
Module Installation Instructions, publication number
1756-EN2T IN603B-EN-P.

Apply Chassis Power
Check Power Supply and Module Status
Check the LED indicators and four-character LED display to determine if the
power supply and module are operating properly. Note that it can take up to
four to five minutes for the module to become fully operational once power is
applied.

FactoryTalk Historian Machine Edition Module 17
Publication 1756-IN611A-EN-P - February 2010
LED Indicator Information
There are two LED indicators on the front panel of the FactoryTalk Historian
ME Module: the three status LED lights and the four-character LED display.
These LED indicators determine if the power supply and module are
operating properly. They are described in the following sections.
Status LED Lights
The Status LED lights provide the following information:
LED light On power-up Status Description
BAT Actual
indication of
battery
condition.
Battery status. Single red LED. Red

Publication 1756-IN611A-EN-P - February 2010
Four-character LED Display
The four-character LED display provides system status in a static and/or
scrolling string on the front panel of the FactoryTalk Historian ME Module.
Once an application is started, it has the responsibility of controlling this
display.
The four-character LED display provides the following information:
OK Green Module status. Single bi-color red/green
LED. Red indicates a
major fault has occurred
in the module. Green
indicates the module is
operating normally.

Application Status
The Application Status is composed of four application subsystems, as
described in the following table.
Note: If more than one of the four statuses exist, then they are displayed one
after another with a two second duration between each message.
Application Subsystem Status Description
Configuration status A. Not configured
B. No points
If neither Data Transfer
or Data Collection is
configured, then the “Not
configured” status is
displayed. Otherwise, the
status is empty. Note:
Data Collection is not
configured if the number
of subscribed points from
the data server is zero
(0). If Data Collection is
not configured, but Data
Transfer is configured,
then the configuration
status is “No points.”
Otherwise, the status is
empty. Note: Data
Transfer is not
configured if the SE Host
Server Name or IP
address is not entered or
is not resolved. The
status is “No upload.”
