🛠️ Installation Guide

Pre-Installation Checklist

✓ Verify cabinet dimensions (minimum 600mm width for UR1 rack)
✓ Ensure adequate ventilation (50mm clearance above/below rack)
✓ Confirm power supply capacity (calculate total module current draw)
✓ Plan cable routing paths for I/O wiring
✓ Prepare grounding connection (M6 grounding stud on rack)

Step-by-Step Installation

Mount the Rack
- Position rack horizontally in cabinet at desired height
- Use pre-drilled mounting holes to secure rack to cabinet back panel
- Verify rack is level using spirit level (critical for module seating)
- Tighten mounting screws evenly to prevent warping
Install Power Supply
- Insert PS 407 module into Slot 1 (leftmost position)
- Ensure module clicks into backplane connector
- Secure module with top and bottom locking screws
- Connect 120/230V AC input power (do not energize yet)
Install CPU
- Insert CPU module into Slot 2 or Slot 3
- Verify CPU is fully seated (backplane connector engaged)
- Install memory card (MMC) if required by CPU model
- Connect programming cable (MPI/Profibus or Ethernet)
Install I/O and Communication Modules
- Insert modules into Slots 4-9 as per system design
- Leave unused slots empty (no blanking plates required)
- Ensure all modules are locked in place
Grounding and Shielding
- Connect rack grounding stud to cabinet ground using 6mm² wire
- Install cable shields to shield connection bar on rack
- Verify continuity between rack and cabinet ground (<0.1Ω)
Power-Up and Commissioning
- Energize PS 407 power supply
- Verify green PWR LED on power supply
- Check CPU status LEDs (SF, BF, RUN/STOP)
- Download PLC program using STEP 7 or TIA Portal
- Test all I/O points before final commissioning

⚠️ Common Installation Mistakes

❌ Installing CPU in Slot 1 (reserved for power supply only)
❌ Mixing S7-300 and S7-400 modules (incompatible backplane)
❌ Insufficient power supply capacity (causes voltage drops)
❌ Poor grounding (leads to EMI issues and communication errors)
❌ Vertical mounting without derating (reduces max operating temperature)

📊 S7-400 Rack Comparison

Rack Model	Slots	Width	Best For	Order Number

🔧 Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom	Possible Cause	Solution
CPU won't start (SF LED red)	Insufficient power supply capacity	Upgrade to higher-capacity PS 407 (10A or 20A)
Module not recognized	Poor backplane contact	Remove and reseat module, verify locking screws tight
Intermittent communication errors	EMI interference	Improve grounding, separate I/O cables from power cables
Backplane bus fault (BF LED)	Damaged backplane connector	Inspect connector pins, replace rack if damaged
Overheating modules	Insufficient ventilation	Increase clearance, add forced-air cooling if needed

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use S7-300 modules in this rack?
A: No, S7-300 and S7-400 modules are not interchangeable. They have different backplane connectors and voltage requirements.

Q: How many I/O points can I connect to a UR1 rack?
A: Depends on module types. With 7 I/O slots, you could have up to 224 digital I/O points (using 32-channel modules) or 56 analog channels (using 8-channel modules).

Q: Can I expand beyond 9 slots?
A: Yes, use IM 460/461 interface modules to connect UR2 expansion racks. S7-400 supports up to 21 racks in a single system.

Q: What's the difference between UR1 and UR2?
A: UR1 has 9 slots (530mm width), UR2 has 18 slots (830mm width). UR2 is used for larger systems or as expansion racks.

Q: Do I need a fan for cooling?
A: Not typically. Natural convection is sufficient if you maintain 50mm clearance above/below the rack. Forced-air cooling may be needed in hot environments (>50°C ambient).

Q: Can I mount the rack vertically?
A: Yes, but you must derate the maximum operating temperature to 40°C (instead of 60°C for horizontal mounting).
