Installation and connection of Nanoline components

2338_en_O
As modular devices, the Nanoline system components are simple to connect and configure
for specific applications. In addition to selecting the correct base unit, additional I/O
modules (with the desired I/O mix), communication modules and an Operator Panel can be
selected for the specific application.
2.1

Base and expansion module installation

The base unit and expansion modules install on NS 35 mounting rail (EN 60715). A release
latch is located on the bottom side of each module. Up to three I/O expansion modules can
be attached to the right side of the base unit, and one communication expansion module
can be attached to the left side of the base unit.

Installing modules on the mounting rail

NOTE:
The Nanoline is intended for vertical mounting (DIN rail attached to a vertical wall). This
aids in cooling by allowing air flow through the base unit and any installed modules.
Install the Operator Panel and any option modules in the base unit before mounting the
unit.
1. Use a small screwdriver to remove the plastic over the D-SUB 9 connector on the
appropriate side of the base module before mounting the module on the rail.
NOTE:
Do not remove the plastic cover when not installing an expansion module.
– Remove the left-side plastic to connect a communication expansion module.
– Remove the right-side plastic to connect I/O expansion modules.
