R
2 for industrial use.
To ensure full electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the DIN mounting rail must be
connected to functional earth (FE).
The control cabinet or assembly casing of the Flexi Soft system must comply at least
with enclosure rating IP 54.
Mounting in accordance with EN 50 274.
Electrical installation in accordance with EN 60 204
R
1.
The voltage supply of the devices must be capable of buffering brief mains voltage
failures of 20 ms as specified in EN 60 204
R
1.
The voltage supply as well as all signals connected have to fulfil the regulations for
extra-low voltages with safe separation (SELV, PELV) in accordance with EN 60 664 and
EN 50 178 (equipment of electrical power installation with electronic devices).
Ensure that all the modules of the Flexi Soft system, the connected protective devices
as well as the voltage supplies are connected with the same GND plane. The GND of the
RS-232 interface is connected internally to the GND of the supply of the main module
(A2).
Connect all fieldbus and Ethernet cable shields directly at the control cabinet entrance
to the functional earth (FE).
