Caution
In the case of long valve terminals with several I/O mod-
ules, use additional support brackets for the modules(ap-
prox. every 200 mm). You can thereby avoid:
– overloading the fastening eyes on the left-hand end
plate
– the terminal hanging down (I/O side)
– internal oscillations
Proceed as follows:
1. Ascertain the weight of your valve terminal (weigh or
calculate). Guidelines:
per pneumatic module
per node
per electronic module
Table 2/1: Component weights
2. Make sure that the mounting surface can support this
weight. Check to see if you require support brackets for
the I/O modules.
3. If necessary, use washers.
4. Fasten the valve terminal as shown in the table below. The
valve terminal can be fitted in any position.
