Mounting the cDAQ Controller on a DIN Rail
Use the DIN rail mounting method if you already have a DIN rail configuration or if you need
to be able to remove the controller quickly. You can order the NI DIN rail mount kit, part number
781987-01, to mount the controller on a DIN rail. You need one clip for mounting the controller
on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Complete the following steps to mount the controller on a DIN
rail.
1.
Fasten the DIN rail clip to the controller using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and
three M4 × 10 screws. National Instruments provides these screws with the DIN rail mount
kit. Tighten the screws to a maximum torque of 1.3 N ·
m (11.5 lb ·
in.). Make sure the DIN
rail kit is installed as shown in Figure 1-16, with the larger lip of the DIN clip positioned
up. When the DIN rail kit is properly installed, the cDAQ controller is centered on the DIN
rail.
