Chapter 13 Mounting and Wiring 13.3 Mounting Discrete I/O Slave Units (1) In case of fixing with screws Check the dimension of the slave unit to be mounted and make appropriate installation holes on the control board. Then fix the slave unit using M4 screws. (Fix the slave unit at two places, at the upper right and bottom left when viewing from the front.) (2) In case of fixing on the DIN rail Mount the backside of the slave unit onto the DIN 35 mm rail.
