  • ✓ Prepare grounding infrastructure (PE connection required)

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Mounting the Rack
    • Position rack horizontally in cabinet at desired height
    • Use pre-drilled mounting holes (M6 screws recommended)
    • Verify rack is level using spirit level (critical for module seating)
    • Secure rack firmly to prevent vibration-induced loosening
  2. Grounding Connection
    • Connect rack grounding terminal to cabinet PE rail
    • Use minimum 6mm² copper wire for grounding
    • Ensure low-impedance ground path (<0.1Ω resistance)
  3. Module Installation Sequence
    • Install power supply in Slot 1 (do not power on yet)
    • Install CPU in Slot 2
    • Install I/O and communication modules in Slots 3-9 (left to right)
    • Verify all modules are fully seated (locking mechanisms engaged)
  4. Power-Up Procedure
    • Connect 24V DC to power supply input terminals
    • Verify power supply LED indicators (green = OK)
    • Check CPU status LEDs (SF, BF, RUN/STOP)
