General/Common Characteristics 6 (40) General/Common Characteristics Dimensions • The module clips directly onto an industry standard DIN rail (EN 50022). • Field wiring is on the front of the module via a plug-in connector. • Module power and RS-485 communications wiring are on a separate plug-in connector on the bottom side of the housing.
General/Common Characteristics 7 (40) EMC Considerations The I/O modules will usually be installed in an enclosure along with other devices that generate electromagnetic radiation, such as relays and contactors, transformers, motor controllers, etc. Electromagnetic radiation can induce electrical noise in both power and signal lines. Direct radi- ation into the module can also have a negative effect on the system.
