The module is mounted directly to the rail in the DIN industry standard. Power connectors, communication, and I/Os are at the bottom and top of the module.
SfAR-S-6TI User Manual 4 Communication 4.1 Grounding and Shielding In most cases, I/O modules will be installed in an enclosure along with other devices, which generate electromagnetic radiation. Relays, contactors, transformers, motor controllers, etc. are examples of such devices. Radiation can induce electrical noise into both power and signal lines, as well as direct radiation into the module.
