Maintenance suggestions:
Perform quarterly visual inspections to check for loose connectors or damaged cables. Monitor network health via Proficy, tracking error rates and link drops. Update firmware annually to address security patches and protocol enhancements. Clean dust from vents biannually with compressed air, especially in dusty environments like cement plants. Test redundancy by disconnecting the primary Ethernet cable to confirm failover to the secondary path. Store spare IC695CMM002VC modules in anti-static packaging at 10–30°C with <60% humidity, testing them yearly to ensure functionality.
