
There are restrictions on the maximum number of servo drives that can be connected to a Soft Start
Module, refer to Table 6-1 . There are restrictions on the maximum total combined I/O current (24V) and
encoder current that can be consumed between all servo drives connected to the Soft Start Module,
refer to
Table 6-1 .

The maximum number of servo drives and current draw restrictions vary based on the power supply
voltage, refer to
Table 6-1 .
Power Supply

6.6.2 Soft Start Module Installation
Figure 6-10 illustrates the mounting and installation requirements for the Soft Start Module.

The Soft Start Module must be mounted within an enclosure which only provides access with the use of
a tool or after the de-energization of live parts.

The Soft Start Module must be mounted on 35mm TS35 DIN rail (EN 60715). Both 7.5mm and 15mm
deep DIN rail are suitable.

The DIN rail must be installed horizontally on a vertical surface to ensure airflow travels vertically
through the soft start module’s air vents.

The Soft Start Module must be mounted vertically with the plug at the bottom.

The vents on the Soft Start Module
’s enclosure must not obstructed (e.g. by a label)

Provide at least 50mm clearance around all sides as shown in Figure 6-10.

The Soft Start Module must not be operated above 1000m Mean Sea Level (AMSL).

Do not install the Soft Start Module if there are any visible signs of damage to the product.
