The module can be attached to the controller or an adjacent I/O module before or after mounting. For mounting instructions, see “Panel Mounting” on page 6, or “DIN Rail Mounting” on page 7. To work with a system that is already mounted, see “Replacing a Single Module within a System” on page 7. The following procedure shows you how to assemble the Compact I/O system.
The following procedure allows you to use the assembled modules as a template for drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel mounting equipment, you can use the dimensional template provided on page 6. Due to module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures:
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails: 35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 – 35 x 7.5) or 35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 – 35 x 15). Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will momentarily open and lock into place.
Since the operating principle of the RTD module is based on the measurement of resistance, take special care when selecting your input cable. For 2-wire or 3-wire configurations, select a cable that has a consistent impedance throughout its entire length.
