Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template
The following procedure allows you to use the assembled modules as a
template for drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel
mounting equipment, you can use the dimensional template provided on
page 3-6. Due to module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to
follow these procedures:
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center
of all module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including
any previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8
screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole
alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 for any remaining modules.
DIN Rail Mounting
The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails:
•
35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5), or
•
35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15).
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches.
Press the DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The
latches will momentarily open and lock into place.
Replacing a Single
Module within a System
The module can be replaced while the system is mounted to a panel (or
DIN rail). Follow these steps in order:
1. Remove power. See important note on page 3-3.
2. On the module to be removed, remove the upper and lower
mounting screws from the module (or open the DIN latches using a
flat-blade or phillips-style screwdriver).
3. Move the bus lever to the right to disconnect (unlock) the bus.
NOTE
If mounting more modules, mount only the last one
of this group and put the others aside. This reduces
remounting time during drilling and tapping of the
next group.
