6.1 Requirements
General
During the installation of SIMOTION modules, you must pay attention to the "Electrical
configuration design".
This chapter will also provide information on wiring and networking a complete SIMOTION
system.
Further information on the connection of the complete system and the individual components
can be found in the SIMOTION P320-3 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 VDC power supplies that meet the requirements
of safe extra low voltage (SELV). The cable cross-section must be chosen large enough
to ensure that no damage can result from a cable overheating in the event of a short-
circuit in the SIMOTION P320-3.
● Avoid extreme environmental conditions as far as possible.
● Protect the device against dust, moisture, heat and severe vibration.
● Do not subject the SIMOTION P320-3 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 P320-3 must be at least 50 mm above and 100 mm
below to ensure adequate ventilation.
● Do not cover the ventilation slots.
