POINT I/O Synchronous Serial Interface Absolute Encoder Module POINT I/O Synchronous Serial Interface Absolute Encoder Module The wiring base assembly includes a terminal base, 1734-TB or 1734-TBS, which consists of a mounting base, 1734-MB, and removable terminal block, 1734-RT or 1734-RTS. Module Description Description Description...
8 POINT I/O Synchronous Serial Interface Absolute Encoder Module Install the Mounting Base To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows: ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding.
POINT I/O Synchronous Serial Interface Absolute Encoder Module Install the Module The module can be installed before or after base installation. Make sure that the mounting base is correctly keyed before installing the module into the mounting base. In addition, make sure the mounting base locking screw is positioned horizontal referenced to the base.
10 POINT I/O Synchronous Serial Interface Absolute Encoder Module Install the Removable Terminal Block A removable terminal block (RTB) is supplied with your wiring base assembly. To remove, pull up on the RTB handle. This allows the mounting base to be removed and replaced as necessary without removing any of the wiring.
