Mounting position
`A PSSu system should preferably
be installed horizontally on a
vertical wall.
`If other mounting positions are
used (e.g. vertical installation),
there will be certain restrictions
with regard to
- Ambient temperature
Optimum upward heat
dissipation can no longer be
guaranteed.
- Vibration and shock stress
There will be increased
requirements on the system
fastenings: use additional
metallic end brackets!
Mounting rail
`A PSSu system is designed to be
installed on a zinc plated DIN rail
in accordance with DIN EN 50022.
Dimensions:
35 x 7.5 mm or 35 x 15 mm
`Where vibration and shock stress
place increased requirements on
the system fastenings, it is
recommended that the mounting
rail is screwed to the mounting
plate approximately every
200 mm.
Module layout
`The first module on a PSSu
system is always a head module.
`A supply voltage module is always
connected to the right of the head
module
- To supply the module electr-
onics to the head module and
subsequent I/O modules
- To provide 24 VDC for the
periphery supply
`Next right it is possible to install
I/O modules for FS and ST
applications.
- The I/O modules (input
modules, output modules) can
be installed in any order.
- I/O modules for FS applications
and ST applications can be
combined as required.
- In various applications it makes
sense to combine specific
modules into groups.
- It is not possible to mix base
modules with screw terminals
and cage clamp terminals.
- The max. number of I/O
modules is determined through
the defined system limits.
`Supply voltage modules may be
required to refresh the supply to
the module electronics. This can
be determined through the
defined system limits.
`To form supply groups, an
additional voltage supply module
is required at the start of each
group. The modules belonging to
the supply group will then follow
to the right.
`The final element in a PSSu
system is always a terminating
plate, containing the bus
terminating resistors.
`Various fastening elements are
used at the start and end of the
system to secure the system on
the mounting rail:
- End bracket at the start of the
system
- Plastic version (standard)
- Metal version
(increased requirements with
regard to vibration and
shock stress)
- End bracket at the end of the
system
- Plastic version (standard)
- Metal version
(increased requirements with
regard to vibration and
shock stress)
