(A)
(B)
However, there are restrictions on the installation orientation of the PROFINET Coupler Unit due to the
ambient operating temperature and the NX Unit power supply capacity.
There are also installation orientation restrictions on the DIN Track of the PROFINET Coupler Unit and
restrictions to specifications that can result from the NX Units that are used.
For restrictions on the PROFINET Coupler Unit, refer to 3-1-3 PROFINET Coupler Unit Specifications
on page 3-4.
Refer to the user's manual for the NX Units that you will use for specific NX Unit restrictions.
Precautions for Safe Use
For installation orientations (C) and (D) in the above figure, support the cables, e.g., with a duct,
so that the End Plate on the bottom is not subjected to the weight of the cables. The weight of
the cables may cause the bottom End Plate to slide downward so that the IO Device Terminal is
no longer secured to the DIN Track, which may result in malfunctions.
