2.2 Installation 2.2.1 Inter-module Installation Inter-module assemblies are slide-mounted via the top and bottom rails. 2.2.2 Rail Installation DIN rail mounting is adopted here. When installing, align the module with the DIN rail and press the snap until there is a clear click sound. As shown in the figure below: Note: Push the rail snaps first to open state, place the module onto the DIN rail, press down the top of the snaps with your hand until it is in place.

3.3 Terminal Wiring 3.3.1 Wiring Precautions For extension cable wiring, prevent power lines (high voltage, high current) and other bundled cables which transmit strong interfering signals, from surge and inductive influences. Please separate the wires and avoid parallel wiring. Otherwise there may be additional noise.
