NOTICE
SIMOTICS CONNECT 400 housing with an IP54 degree of protection
If the ambient conditions according to IP54 cannot be ensured at the installation location – or
if a higher degree of protection is required – then the user must apply additional measures to
ensure safe and reliable operation.
Requirement
Upgrade your motor with a connectivity module. To mount the connectivity module, glue the
mounting bracket permanently to the motor. You can screw the connectivity module onto the
mounting bracket either before or after gluing the mounting bracket on the motor.
No motor parameters have been imported into the connectivity module. You must configure the
device after mounting. Follow the instructions in Chapter Commissioning (Page 23).
Note
Motors with connectivity module mounted in the factory
Certain motors are supplied with the connectivity module mounted in the factory. In this case,
you must ensure that the battery is contacted.
Mounting or removal is only necessary if the connectivity module has to be replaced.
