Installation
Simple installation
The ET 200S distributed I/O system is designed for simple installation.
The modules of an ET 200S system are classified as Open Equipment. You must install the
ET 200S in cases, cabinets or electrical control rooms where they will only be accessible
with a key or a tool. You should limit entry to the housing, cabinet, or electric control room to
authorized personnel.

Installation rules
Installation position
The preferred installation position is horizontal on a vertical wall. Any other installation
position is also possible; however, there are limitations with regard to ambient temperature.
Rail
The EIP-200S Ethernet/IP Adapter is installed on a zinc-plated rail, according to the
EN 50022 standard (35 x 7.5 mm or 35 x 15 mm).
Note
If the interface module is exposed to increased vibrations and shock, we recommend that
you screw the rail to the mounting surface at intervals of 200 mm.
To prevent the interface module from slipping to the side, we recommend that you fit a
mechanical stop (for example, with a ground terminal, 8WA2 011-1PH20) at both ends of the
device.
If you install the rail on grounded, zinc-plated mounting plates, there is no need to ground the
rail separately.
