Page 33 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 34 Do not connect/disconnect the module with power ON. This may lead to master restart or user data loss or damage. To avoid damage to the PLC and modules, prevent their enclosures and terminals ● from falling off or being impacted. Installation Dimensions Installation dimensions are shown below in millimeters (mm).
Page 35 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. ■ Installing the PLC 1. Align the PLC with the DIN rail and push the PLC toward the direction marked by the arrow until you hear a click sound, as shown in the following figure.
Page 36 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. ■ Inserting modules to the PLC Modules are slid onto the PLC through the rails on the top and bottom of the modules, as shown in the following figure.
Page 37 ■ Removal Use a straight screwdriver or similar tool to pry up the rail buckles, pull the PLC forward, and press the buckles down after the PLC is pulled out. ‑ ‑...
