Installing the I/O Interface Carrier

Figure: I/O Interface Carrier Installation (with 8-wide Carrier)


  1. Install the DIN rail at the appropriate location.
  2. Connect each I/O interface carrier to any adjacent carriers by sliding together the 48-pin connectors on the sides of the carriers.
  3. Turn the screws counter-clockwise on the I/O interface carrier to disengage the latch. Place the carrier on the rail and tighten the screws clockwise to latch. The upper and lower screws are for T-rail mounting.
    Note

    The middle two screws are used for G-rail mounting and are not used when the rail has both the PK controller carrier and the I/O carrier. PK controller carrier only mounts on the T-rail.

  4. If you are installing I/O interface carriers on separate rails, connect them with the LocalBus cable from the 48-pin connector on the right side of one carrier to the 48-pin connector on the left side of the next carrier.
  5. Install the carrier ground wiring as appropriate for the carrier.
