Mounting and removing the Inline controller

For notes and instructions on mounting and removing Inline terminals, please refer to the
IB IL SYS PRO UM E user manual (for INTERBUS), the IL SYS INST UM E Inline instal-
lation manual or the Inline system manual for your bus system.
NOTE:
Before mounting or removing the controller, make sure that the supply voltage is switched
off and cannot be switched on again by unauthorized persons.
An Inline station is set up by mounting the individual components side by side. No tools are
required. Mounting the components side by side automatically creates potential and bus
signal connections between the individual station components.
The controller is mounted perpendicular to the DIN rail.
Like all other terminals in the Inline product range, the Inline controller has IP20 protection
and is designed for use in a closed control cabinet or control box (terminal box) with IP54
protection or higher.
The Inline controller is mounted on a 35 mm standard DIN rail.
Fix the DIN rail on which the Inline controller is mounted several times, especially in the
area around the Inline controller. This makes it easier to remove the Inline controller.
Mount end brackets on both sides of the Inline station. The end brackets ensure that the In-
line station is correctly mounted. End brackets secure the Inline station on both sides and
keep it from moving from side to side on the DIN rail. Phoenix Contact recommends using
CLIPFIX 35-5 end brackets (Order No. 3022276).
The mechanical end of an Inline station is the end plate. It has no electrical function. It pro-
tects the station against ESD pulses and the user against dangerous contact voltages. The
end plate is supplied together with the Inline controller and does not need to be ordered sep-
arately.
NOTE:
When mounting or removing the Inline controller it must be tilted. This means that no Inline
terminal should be installed directly to the right of the Inline controller during mounting and
removal. The terminal must be removed prior to mounting or removing the Inline control-
ler. Otherwise, the snap-in hooks and jumper contacts will be damaged.
Mount the Inline controller horizontally (as shown in Figure 2-12 on page 29). The tempera-
ture range specified in Section "Ambient conditions" on page 93 is only guaranteed if the In-
line controller is mounted in this position.
The Inline controller must only be mounted or removed within a temperature range from -
5°C to +55°C (ILC 131 ETH, ILC 151 ETH, ILC 171 ETH 2TX, ILC 191 ETH 2TX) or from
-5°C to +60°C (ILC 131 ETH/XC, ILC 151 ETH/XC).
