WARNING
Open equipment
Compact Field Units are open equipment. This means that they must only be installed in
housings (which includes cabinets or electrical equipment rooms), whereby these housings
must only be accessible via keys or a tool. The housings must only be accessed by instructed
or approved personnel.
The CFU is installed horizontally or vertically:
● Horizontal (CFU PA: Slot X2 right / CFU DIQ: Slot X13 right)
● Vertical (CFU PA: Slot X2 top / CFU DIQ: Slot X13 top)
Technical setup
The CFU is mounted on a mounting rail.
You can find information about the mounting rail in section "Overview of the components
(Page 18)".
To ensure mounting without problems sufficient clearance must be left below and above the
CFU.
You can find additional information in section "Minimum clearances in the control cabinet
(Page 185)".
If you integrate the "SIMATIC CFU ... with aluminum housing" into the system, the required
distances are taken into account.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
To maintain the EMC, note the following:
● EMC-compliant routing of the cables (including within cabinets!)
● Route signal cables separately from cables with voltages > 60 V or high currents
● Avoid the proximity of large electrical installations.
