7.3 Mounting onto Carrier Rail
All system components can be snapped directly onto a carrier rail in accordance with the Eu-
ropean standard EN 50022 (DIN 35).
Do not use any third-party carrier rails without approval by WAGO!
WAGO supplies standardized carrier rails that are optimal for use with NivuLink Compact.
If other carrier rails are used, then a technical inspection and approval of the rail by WAGO
Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG should take place.
Carrier rail requirements
Carrier rails have different mechanical and electrical properties. For the optimal system
setup on a carrier rail, certain guidelines must be observed:
•
The material must be non-corrosive.
•
Most components have a contact to the carrier rail to ground electro-
magnetic disturbances. In order to avoid corrosion, this tin-plated carrier
rail contact must not form a galvanic cell with the material of the carrier rail
which generates a differential voltage above 0.5 V (saline solution of
0.3 % at 20°C).
•
The carrier rail must optimally support the EMC measures integrated into
the system and the screening of the input/output terminals connection.
•
A sufficiently stable carrier rail should be selected and, if necessary, sev-
eral mounting points (every 20 cm) should be used in order to prevent
bending and twisting (torsion).
