Compact Spring-Style I/O Carrier
Din Rail Mounting
The I/O carrier snaps easily onto a 7.5mm X 35mm DIN rail. The DIN rail must be
electrically grounded to provide EMC protection. The rail must have a conductive
(unpainted) corrosion-resistant finish.
For applications requiring maximum resistance to mechanical vibration and shock, the
carrier must also be panel-mounted. See chapter 2 for installation instructions.
Features
The Compact Spring-Style I/O carrier supports wiring for up to 32 I/O points and 4
common/power connections.
Easily-set keying dials to assure installation of the correct type of module on the
carrier. Keys are set to match the keying on the bottom of the module. A complete list
of module keying assignments is included in appendix D.
Carrier-to-carrier mating connectors for quick installation of the backplane
connection with no additional cables or tools needed.
Module latch hole for securely fastening the module to the carrier.
A printed wiring card provided with each I/O module can be folded and inserted in
the built-in card holder.
