Ensure that the cabling is not under mechanical stress
(Comply with bending radius of ≥ 2.36 in (60 mm)).
Ä
Ensure that the cables do not run between module
and mounting rail or structure (danger of pinch).
Ä
Do not connect modules with different orientations
or angles of inclination in the same string.
Ä
To avoid complex cabling arrangements, it is often
advantageous to rotate some modules 180°.
Ä
