Double-click Installation

The RSTi-EP station modules can be installed quickly and simply. When attaching the
module to the DIN rail, a clear clicking noise can be heard, which means that the module has
clicked into place. In the second step, which involves pushing the module being installed
together with the neighboring module, a further clicking noise indicates that the modules
have been correctly connected to each other.
1.2 General Description of the Fieldbus Network
Adapters
A fieldbus network adapter is used to connect the station I/O modules to the fieldbus. All
the data traffic with the programmable logic controller including the diagnostic messages
is exchanged via the network adapter. The integrated power supply provides the network
adapter and all connected modules with power.
A detailed description of the individual network adapter types is available under Detailed
