Requirements
General
During the installation of SIMOTION modules, you must pay attention to the electrical
configuration design.
This section also provides information on wiring and networking a complete SIMOTION
system.
More detailed information about the connection of the complete system and the individual
components appears in the
SIMOTION P and Panel Fronts Commissioning and Hardware Installation Manual.
Open equipment
These modules are open equipment. This means they may only be installed in housings,
cabinets, or in electrical equipment rooms that can only be entered or accessed with a key or
tool. Housings, cabinets, or electrical equipment rooms may only be accessed by trained or
authorized personnel. An external fire-protection housing is required.
Observe the following points during installation:
●
The device may only be connected to 24 V DC power supplies that meet the
requirements of a protective extra-low-voltage (PELV). The selected cable cross-section
must be sufficiently large to ensure that no damage can result from a cable overheating in
the event of a short-circuit in the SIMOTION P Box.
●
Avoid extreme environmental conditions as far as possible.
●
Protect the device against dust, moisture, heat and severe vibration.
●
Do not expose the SIMOTION P to direct sunlight.
●
Install the device in such a way that it poses no danger, for example, by falling over.
●
The clearance around the SIMOTION P Box must be at least 100 mm to ensure
adequate ventilation.
●
Do not cover the ventilation slots.
●
The only permissible mounting position for mounting on a vertical panel is vertical.
Maximum inclination ± 20 degrees.
