General installation
5.5.1
Installation on a DIN rail
When used in shipbuilding, installation on a 35mm DIN rail is not permitted.
The 35 mm DIN rail (DIN EN 60715) does not provide adequate support in shipping or when
there is severe vibration (> 10 g). Under such conditions, the device can come out of the
mounting and may cause injury.
In such situations, install the device on an S7-300 standard rail.
Valid only for the appropriately marked devices in the various product groups. This is
indicated by a note in the Installation options table. Refer to the relevant table in the section
Technical specification (subsection, construction, installation and environment).
