Installation Guidelines The following guidelines are provided to optimize the device performance. Review the guidelines before installing the device. Make sure cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. Radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures can interference with the device performance. ...
Installing the Modbus Router 2.3.1 DIN Rail Mounting The DIN rail mount option is the quickest installation option. Additionally, it optimizes the use of rail space. The metal DIN rail kit is secured to the rear of the modbus router. The device can be mounted onto a standard 35 mm (1.37”) x 7.5 mm (0.3”) height DIN rail.
See the following figure for an illustration of a completed DIN installation procedure. Figure 2.2 Correctly Installed DIN Rail Kit Grasp the bottom of the modbus router and slightly rotate it upwards. If there is resistance, the modbus router is correctly installed. Otherwise, re-attempt the installation process from the beginning.
2.3.2 Wall-Mounting The wall mounting option provides better shock and vibration resistance than the DIN rail vertical mount. Note! When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install the cabling. Before the device can be mounted on a wall, you will need to remove the DIN rail plate.
Once the wall mounting plates are secure on the device, you will need to attach the wall screws (x4). Locate the installation site and place the modbus router against the wall, making sure it is the final installation location. Use the wall mount plates as a guide to mark the locations of the screw holes. Drill four holes over the four marked locations on the wall, keeping in mind that the holes must accommodate wall sinks in addition to the screws.
Connecting the Modbus Router to Ethernet Ports 2.4.1 RJ45 Ethernet Cable Wiring For RJ45 connectors, data-quality, twisted pair cabling (rated CAT5 or better) is recommended. The connector bodies on the RJ45 Ethernet ports are metallic and connected to the GND terminal. For best performance, use shielded cabling. Shielded cabling may be used to provide further protection.
Power Supply Installation 2.6.1 Overview Warning! Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring the modbus router. Caution! Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off. The device only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not use any other power components except those specifically designated for the modbus router device.
2.6.2 Considerations Take into consideration the following guidelines before wiring the device: The Terminal Block (CN1) is suitable for 12-24 AWG (3.31 - 0.205 mm ). Torque value 7 lb-in. The cross-sectional area of the earthing conductors shall be at least 3.31 mm ...
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) affects the transmission performance of a device. By properly grounding the device to earth ground through a drain wire, you can set up the best possible noise immunity and emissions. Drain Wire with Lug Connection to Grounding Point Figure 2.10 Grounding Connection By connecting the ground terminal by drain wire to earth ground the modbus router and chassis can be ground.
There are two power inputs for normal and redundant power configurations. The power input 2 is used for wiring a redundant power configuration. See the following for terminal block connector views. PWR2 DC12-48V 1A@24V PWR1 V2- V2+ V1- V1+ P-Fail Figure 2.12 Terminal Receptor: Power Input Contacts To wire the power inputs: Make sure the power is not connected to the modbus router or the power converter...
Align the terminal block over the terminal block receptor on the modbus router. Insert the terminal block and press it in until it is flush with the terminal block receptor. Tighten the screws on the terminal block to secure it to the terminal block receptor.
