Basic information
Mounting location
The controller meets the requirements for the IP20 degree of protection. Due to its compact
design, the controller can be installed in standard terminal boxes.
Mounting/DIN rail
The controller is mounted on a 35 mm standard DIN rail without any tools using the bus base
module. It is mounted perpendicular to the DIN rail.
The local bus is created automatically when the bus base modules of the controller and
Axioline F devices are installed next to one another.
Supply connector
The controller has a supply connector for connecting the power supply. The connector is fit-
ted with spring-cage terminal blocks. When using suitable conductors, the conductors can
be connected by means of direct connection technology (Push-in technology).
FE connection
There are two FE springs (metal contacts) on the bottom of the controller which establish
the connection to functional ground when the controller is snapped onto a grounded DIN
rail.
End brackets
Mount end brackets on both sides of the Axioline F station. The end brackets ensure that
the Axioline F station is correctly mounted. End brackets secure the station on both sides
and keep it from moving from side to side on the DIN rail. Phoenix Contact recommends the
following end brackets:
Observe the notes on securing the DIN rail and fastening elements as well as the notes
on mounting distances in the UM EN AXL F SYS INST user manual.
