6.1.8 Calculation of Space Requirements

The space requirements for a RSTi-EP station with n modules (horizontal installation) is calculated as
follows:
Height: 120 mm (4.72")
+ 2 x 40 mm (1.57")
= 200 mm (7.87")
Width: 8 mm (1.57" )
+ 52 mm (2.05")
+ n x 11.5 mm (0.45")
+ 11.5 mm (0.45")
+ 2 x 20 mm (0.79")
= 111.5 mm (4.39") + n x 11.5 mm (0.45")
For vertical installation interchange height and width. When calculating the width for vertical
installation, 4.5 mm (0.18") must be added for the end bracket.

6.1.9 Installation Sequence

A RSTi-EP station may only be installed in this sequence (starting from the left/bottom):
•
End bracket
•
Bus network adapter
•
Up to 64 active modules
•
End plate and end bracket
If the station has already been configured, proceed to the corresponding installation drawing. If you
are configuring the station yourself, observe the following instructions:
•
Observe the maximum current carrying capacity (refer to the section, Current Demand and
Power Supply).
•
Furthermore, the modules may be arranged in any sequence. In order to configure the
station as clearly as possible, it is recommended to arrange the modules according to their
function.
