3 The Axioline Smart Elements product group
3.1 Axioline Smart Elements
Axioline Smart Elements are compact, pluggable I/O elements. They are particularly easy
to handle during configuration, installation and startup.
Compact
Eight or 16 terminal points on a base area of 15 mm x 62 mm provide an extremely compact
housing design.
The large conductor cross section of 1.5 mm² with ferrule including plastic collar on a
3.5 mm pitch for I/O signals ensures low voltage drops, even over longer conductor lengths.
Easy handling
Push-in connection technology reduces signal line installation times thanks to conductor
connection without tools.
As Axioline Smart Elements do not require parameterization or just little parameterization for
startup or replacement, startup times can be reduced.
The release mechanism enables quick and easy mounting and removal.
3.2 Use in an Axioline F station
Axioline F backplanes are available for integrating Axioline Smart Elements into an
Axioline F station. Depending on the version, the backplanes feature four or six slots for
Smart Elements. Within an Axioline F station, they provide the I/O voltage and communica-
tions power supply for the Smart Elements.

6.1.3 Additional safety notes for the low voltage range
Installing the system
Install the system according to the requirements of EN 50178.
WARNING: Dangerous contact voltage
Please note that there are dangerous contact voltages when working on circuits that do
not meet protective extra-low voltage requirements.
• The Axioline Smart Elements for the low-voltage range may only be mounted and re-
moved when the power supply is disconnected.
• When working on Smart Elements and wiring, always switch off the supply voltage
and ensure it cannot be switched on again.
• The Smart Elements for the low voltage range must only be operated in a closed con-
trol cabinet.
Failure to observe these instructions can lead to damage to health or even life-threatening
injury.
WARNING: Dangerous contact voltage in the event of ground faults
Please note that there are dangerous contact voltages when working on circuits that do
not meet protective extra-low voltage requirements.
• Only operate the Smart Elements for the low-voltage range in grounded grids.
Additionally observe the information in the product-specific data sheets.

6.2 Mounting position
The mounting position depends on the system in which the Smart Element is used.
Mounting position in an Axioline F station
For Axioline F backplanes, only wall mounting on a horizontal or vertical DIN rail is permitted
(Figure 6-1).
Wall mounting on a horizontal DIN rail on the wall is the preferred mounting position
(Figure 6-1, A). This mounting position provides optimum air flow for the Smart Elements.
