ModBUS CONNECTION RULES
1) Install the modules in the DIN rail (120 max)
2) Connect the remote modules using cables of an appropriate length. The following table shows cable length data:
- Bus length: maximum length of the Modbus network according to the Baud Rate. This is the length of the cables
that connect the two farthest modules (see Diagram 1).
- Derivation length: maximum length of a derivation 2 m (see Diagram 1).
For maximum performance, it is recommended to use special shielded cables, such as BELDEN 9841.
INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
The module has been designed for vertical installation on a DIN 46277 rail. For optimal operation and long life,
adequate ventilation must be provided. Avoid positioning ducting or other objects that obstruct the ventilation slots.
Avoid mounting modules over heat-generating equipment. Installation in the bottom part of the electrical panel is
recommended.
Insertion in the DIN rail
As shown in figure:
1. Insert the IDC10 rear connector of the module on a free
slot of the DIN rail (the insertion is univocal since the
connectors are polarized).
2. To secure the module to the DIN rail, tighten the two
hooks on the sides of the IDC10 rear connector.
