Installation
Connecting the System Power
Connect your 12 to 48 VDC power
source to the SP+ and SP
-
terminals on the ioThinx
4530
Series
’ terminal block.

- 3 -
The system grounding connectors
are
located on the back of the unit,
as shown in
the diagram.
The grounding connectors will
contact the DIN
rail when the
product is attached to it.
Connecting the Field Power
The ioThinx
4530 Series can receive
field power
through a 12/24 VDC
powe
r input. Field power can be used
to supply power fo
r some types of
I/O
modules, such as digital input and
analog output modules.

Connecting the Field Power Ground
Connect the Field Ground pin ( )
to the
field power ground.
Connecting to the Network
Ethernet Communication
The ioThinx 4530 Series is equipped with two RJ45 LAN ports with two
MAC addresses. Connect a network Ethernet cable to either port to
provide an Ethernet connection to the unit.
Serial Communication
The ioThinx 4530 Series is equipped with a 3-in-1 serial interface that
supports either 1 RS-232 port, 1 RS-422 port, or 2 RS-485 ports. Refer

Installing the System on a DIN Rail
Reserve at least 55 mm of space above the DIN rail to ensure that
there is enough room to install the unit.
Step 1: Hook the top mounting clip of the unit onto the DIN rail and
then rotate the unit downwards until the bottom mounting clip comes in
contact with the DIN rail.
Step 2: Push the unit towards the
DIN
rail until the mounting clip snaps
in
to place.
Installing a 45M Module on a DIN Rail
Step 1:
Align the 45M module
side by side with the head/CPU
module, making sure that the
upper and lower rails are hooked
together.

- 6 -
Step 2: Push the 45M module
until it touches the DIN rail. Next,
apply more force until the module
clips to the DIN rail.
NOTE
After the module is firmly attached to the DIN
rail, the
connections between the
module and the internal bus will be
established.
Removing a 45M Module from a DIN Rail
WARNING
Be sure the power is off before removing modules to avoid
damaging the equipment.
Step 1: Use your finger to lift the
release tab on the lower part of the
module.
Step 2: Push the top of the release tab to latch it, and then pull the
module out.
NOTE
Electrical connections for the internal bus will be disconnected
when the 45M module is removed.

Installing Covers on the First and Last Modules
Attach the covers to the first and last module to protect the modules’
contacts.
NOTICE
Be sure to attach the covers to provide
protection against
electrostatic discharge.
Horizontal Installation
Before installing the
device, make sure there is
enough space between the
device and nearby items
(walls, other devices, etc.)
to ensure proper heat
dissipation.
To ensure that the device
works properly, we
suggest reserving
at least
30 mm o
f space
on each of
the four sides, as
shown
in
the figure.

AUTION
D
o not install the device vertically. If the device is installed
vertically, the fanless heat dissipation design will not perform
as intended.
