2. Installation Description
DIN rail mounting
Generally, you can mount the PLC onto a 35mm-wide rail (DIN). Open
the DIN snap-fit at the bottom of the module and lock the bottom of the
module onto the DIN rail;
Rotate module close to the DIN guide rail and close the DIN snap-fit with
a double-checking, as the following figure:
Screw fixing
Fixing the PLC with screws can stand greater shock than DIN rail
mounting. M3 screws can be chosen to fix the PLC onto the backboard of the
electric cabinet through the mounting holes on PLC enclosure, as the following
figure.

2.2 Cable connection and specification
Cable specification
It is recommended to use stranded copper cables and prefabricate
insulated ends to ensure connection quality. The following table lists the
sectional areas and models of the recommended cables.

Fix the prepared cable end onto the PLC terminals with screws correctly.
Fastening torque: 0.5~0.8Nm.
The recommended cable preparation method is shown in the following figure.
2.3 Wring requirement
For the safety (to prevent electric shock and fire accidents) and lower
noise, the ground terminal of the controller should be connected in
accordance with the requirements from national electrical regulations, and
the ground resistance should be less than 100Ω. Single point grounding should
be used when wiring multiple controllers, and the ground wire cannot form a
loop. As shown in the diagram below:

Fig. 2-4 PLC grounding diagram
Figure 2-5 shows the wiring requirement for user terminal.
Note for wiring:
1. It is recommended to use a shielded twisted-pair cable for analog input. The
cable should be far away from power cable or other cables that may generate
electrical power interference.
2. If there is interference in the external electrical wiring and the input signal
fluctuates, you can connect a smoothing capacitor (0.1μF ~ 0.47 μF /25V).
