Remove the protective cover from the network module’s local bus
connector (see Figure 2-2) or from the bag of accessories that came
with your network module.
2.
Install the terminal base onto the DIN rail in the same way you
installed the network module.
3.
Attach the terminal base to the network module by firmly mating
the local bus connectors.
4.
To add more terminal bases, install them on the rail and connect
their local bus connectors together.
