Chapter 4 – Installation of new devices 4. Installation of new devices Please be certain to read the guidelines in chapter 7 „Tips and Tricks – improvement of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)“. Observe these guidelines during the complete installation procedure. Thereby you avoid electromagnetic interferences and you improve the data transmission quality.
Chapter 4 – Installation of new devices 4.2. Configure DIL switches The DIL switches are used to define whether a channel works as an input or output. When a signal should be transmitted from A to B the I/O channel on side A must be configured as input and the same channel on side B must be configured as output.
Chapter 4 – Installation of new devices 4.2.1. DIL switches for I/O modules with 6 digital I/Os I/O modules with 6 digital I/Os (version 1 and 2) have 2 DIL switches for each channel. The first DIL switch defines whether the input is designed with or without pull-up resistor. The second DIL switch defines whether the channel works as an input or as an output.
Chapter 4 – Installation of new devices 4.2.2. DIL switches for I/O modules with 8 digital I/Os I/O modules with 8 digital I/Os (version 3) have 1 DIL switch for the channel configuration (ON = Relay output, OFF = Dig- ital input).

Chapter 7 – Tips and Tricks Shielding Use always screened cables for the interface cable and the supply cable. Thereby you reduce the interference probability by a ratio of 100 compared to unshielded cables and even up to a ratio of 1000 if you also avoid loops. The density of the shield netting should be at least 85%.

Chapter 7 – Tips and Tricks In highly disturbed environmental conditions, which may occur for example in industry buildings with induction furnaces we recommend a PE free installation (see illustration). The galvanized mounting plate cannot be grounded due to the high voltage drop of the different grounding points within the building.
