Beckhoff CX1500-M510 Manual page 179

Installation position:
The maximum ambient temperature for CPU modules mounted on a top-hat rail is 50°C. The orientation in
which the device is fitted must be selected in such a way that cooling air can flow vertically through the ven-
tilation holes. The images show the correct (Fig. 8) and two incorrect installation positions (Figs. 9 & 10).
Observe minimum clearance! Mounting must provide a clearance of 30 mm both above and below a
CX1000 device combination to ensure adequate ventilation of the base CPU module and the power supply
unit.
Correct installation position:
The high-performance CX1020 system generates a significant amount of heat, which is dissipated via a
passive ventilation system. This system requires the unit to be mounted correctly. Ventilation openings are
located at the top and bottom of the housing. The system therefore has to be installed horizontally. This
ensures optimum air flow.
Incorrect installation positions:
The CX1020 system must not be operated vertically on the top-hat rail. A vertical position would lead to
insufficient CPU ventilation, since the ventilation openings are located on the top and bottom of the housing.
Installation of the system on its side would also lead to inadequate ventilation.
