Installation
6.1
For installation of the controllere a 35 mm rail to DIN EN 50022 must be used. The device mounted on
the DIN rail can be easily removed from the rail without any tools.
The housing shape was selected to match the current 24 V and AS-i power supplies from
ifm
electronic
. Therefore the controllere having the same height of only 107 mm can be installed in most
control cabinets with a height of 120 mm.
NOTICE
Risk of overheating by incorrect installation!
The controllere can overheat and be destroyed.
► Install the controllere only vertically in the control cabinet. This serves for an optimum heat
dissipation from the device.
► When mounting, leave a gap of at least 30 mm above and below the device. Air circulation
through the vents must not be hampered.
If the specified distances are adhered to, the device can be operated in a temperature range of 0 °C to
+60
C.
NOTICE
Electromagnetic interference caused by a frequency converter!
Frequency converters emit strong electromagnetic interference. This can interfere with the function
of the AS-i controllere.
► Install the controllere outside the area of possible electromagnetic interference by neighbouring
frequency converters.
