Automotive Assembly
Coordinate multi-robot welding lines, paint booths, and final assembly stations. Scalable architecture allows expansion to 21 racks (378 slots) for plant-wide control.

Water & Wastewater Treatment
Manage pumping stations, filtration systems, and chemical dosing with distributed I/O across multiple racks. Interface modules enable remote rack placement up to 10 meters apart.


🛠️ Installation & Commissioning Guide

Pre-Installation Planning

  1. Cabinet Selection – Ensure cabinet depth ≥250mm to accommodate rack + cable routing
  2. Power Budget Calculation – Sum module power consumption, select PS 407 capacity accordingly
  3. Cooling Requirements – Provide 50mm clearance above/below rack for ventilation
  4. Grounding Strategy – Plan equipotential bonding for EMC compliance

Mechanical Installation

  1. Position Rack – Mount horizontally at ergonomic height (1200-1500mm from floor)
  2. Secure Mounting – Use M6 screws through pre-drilled holes in rack profile
  3. Verify Alignment – Use level tool to ensure rack is perfectly horizontal (critical for module seating)
  4. Install Grounding – Connect rack to cabinet ground via M6 grounding stud

Module Installation Sequence

  1. Power Supply First – Install PS 407 in slot 1 (and slot 2 if redundant)
  2. CPU Installation – Insert CPU in slot 3 (or slots 3-4 for H-system)
  3. I/O Modules – Install signal modules from left to right (slots 5-18)
  4. Front Connectors – Attach pre-wired front connectors to each module
  5. Locking Mechanisms – Engage module locks to prevent accidental removal

Electrical Commissioning

  1. Power-Up Sequence – Energize PS 407, verify green OK LED
  2. CPU Initialization – Check CPU RUN/STOP switch, download program via STEP 7
  3. I/O Diagnostics – Use STEP 7 Hardware Config to verify all modules detected
  4. Functional Testing – Test each I/O point individually before production release

📊 Rack Expansion Options

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between UR2-H and CR2 racks?
A: Both support H-systems, but UR2-H is a universal rack (can be central or expansion), while CR2 is specifically designed as a central rack with integrated interface module slots.

Q: Can I use this rack for S7-300 modules?
A: No, S7-400 racks are NOT compatible with S7-300 modules. Use 6ES7390-series racks for S7-300.

Q: How many power supplies do I need?
A: Minimum 1× PS 407 in slot 1. For redundancy (H-systems), install a second PS 407 in slot 2.

Q: What's the maximum distance between racks?
A: Up to 10 meters with IM 460-3 interface modules. For longer distances, use distributed I/O (Profibus DP/Profinet).

Q: Can I hot-swap modules during operation?
A: Yes, with redundant power supplies and proper STEP 7 configuration. Always follow Siemens hot-swap procedures to prevent data loss.

Q: Is vertical mounting supported?
A: Not recommended. Vertical mounting reduces operating temperature range to 0-40°C and may cause module seating issues.
