  • Page 27: Installation Requirements

    Installation Requirements The PLC can be mounted horizontally or vertically, on top or at the bottom of the electric cabinet. Different mounting options require different operating temperatures, " 2.1 Installation Environment " on page 22 ■ Optimal mounting option The PLC is most preferably installed horizontally. The heat dissipation is realized by natural convection mode.

  • Page 28: Other Mounting Options

    If there is a high‑temperature heat source (heater, transformer, large resistor, etc.) in vicinity of the product, keep the product away from the heat source by at least 100 ■ Other mounting options Other mounting options require the same clearance as the optimal mounting option and are shown in the following figure.

  • Page 29: Installation Precautions

    In case of vertical installation: PLC must be installed below all I/O modules. ● Hold the cables with a cable duct to prevent the weight of cables being ● applied to the lower end plate, which may result loose of the PLC from the DIN rail.

  • Page 30: Installation Method

    Installation Method The PLC is mounted onto a DIN rail in conformity with IEC 60715 (width: 35 mm, thickness: 1 mm). The dimensions (unit: mm) are shown below. When installed on a DIN rail other than the recommended one (especially the one whose thickness is not 1.0 mm), the product will not fit in place as the mounting hook does not work.
  • Page 31 If the mounting hook is pressed down, it is locked. ● If the mounting hook is lifted up, it is unlocked. ● Press down the mounting hook to lock the PLC to the DIN rail. When the PLC is not installed on the rail, keep the mounting hook in the locked state. Keeping the mounting hook unlocked for a prolonged time may cause the hook to fail.
  • Page 32 the top of it to the top of the DIN rail, and then tighten the screw to lock the end plate in place, as shown below. ■ Removing the PLC Pry the DIN rail mounting hook upwards with a tool such as slotted screwdriver, hold the protrusions and pull the PLC out straight forward, and then press down the top of the DIN rail mounting hook.
