10.3.2. Remote mounting
Pay attention to the following points on remote mounting:
Ì
The maximum cable length for a line must not exceed 40 m.
Ì
3 base units may be operated per line and 6 base units per MBM. The number of allowable base units decreases to 4
with EtherCAT P. If you require a different configuration, contact our technical support team.
Ì
Up to 18 modules and submodules may be operated in total. Attention is to be paid to the maximum permissible total
current consumption (see
Ì
The number of safe devices in an overall system is limited to 12.
Ì
Always use the module plug connector ML1C or ML2C or both for a line.
Ì
Lay the cable so that it is protected against damage as far as possible.
Ì
Make sure a sealing cap is fitted to unused connections.
Ì
Make sure the connecting cables are correctly screwed into place to achieve the stated degree of protection.
Before remote mounting, the sealing cap must be unscrewed from connection ML1C. The sealing cap for connection ML1D
is used as a tool for this purpose (see figure below). On the use of a second line, the sealing cap ML2C must also be un-
screwed. Then the sealing cap for connection ML1D must be re-fitted.
