Mounting and basic
configuration of the gateways
Make sure that the voltage supply of the Flexi Soft system is switched off.
Hang the device onto the DIN mounting rail ( ).
Connect the gateways directly onto the right side of the FX3-CPUx module of the Flexi
Soft system. Up to two gateways per system are possible.
Ensure that the earthing spring contact ( ) contacts the DIN mounting rail such that it
can electrically conduct.
Latch the module onto the DIN mounting rail by pressing it lightly in the direction of the
arrow ( ).
If there are several modules, slide the modules together individually in the direction of
the arrow until the side plug connection latches in.
Install end clips on the left and right.
The following steps are necessary after mounting:
Complete the electrical connections (see section 4.2 “Electrical installation” on
page 27)
Configuration (see section 4.3 “First configuration steps” on page 27 and the Flexi Soft
Designer operating instructions, SICK part no. 8012998).
Checking the installation (see the chapter on commissioning in the Flexi Soft hardware
