2 Installation
2.1 Hardware installation
2.1.1 Mounting and dismounting
Note
Make sure the FG-260 is mounted in a manner that the power
supply disconnecting device or interrupt facility can always be
reached easily.
Note
Depending on the installation position, the maximum ambient
operating temperature may differ. Refer to Technical Data for
detailed information.
Installation and inspection
Installation and inspection tasks are to be carried out by qualified
personnel only, i.e. personnel qualified according to TRBS 1203 or
similar! The definition of terms can be found in IEC 60079-17.

Chapter 2 - Installation
FG-260 - Quick Startup Guide 9
Mounting
1. For mounting the FG-260 on a DIN rail (35 mm), attach the two upper
notches to the rail.
2. Press the device down towards the rail until it locks into place.
Note
Do not put stress on the system by bending or torsion.

10 FG-260 - Quick Startup Guide
Dismounting
To dismount the FG-260 from the DIN rail, slide a screw driver horizontally
underneath the housing into the locking bar, slide the bar downwards – without
tilting the screw driver - and fold the device upwards.

and interfaces:

Chapter 2 - Installation
12 FG-260 - Quick Startup Guide
2.1.3 Connecting the power supply
The supply voltage (18 VDC .... 32 VDC) is connected by a 3-pole terminal
block. The power supply is connected to the plug connector via flexible wires
with a cross section of 0.75 to 1.5 mm². The ground connection wire must have
a cross section of 1.5 mm².

system.
Note
As indicated in the connection diagram, the power can be applied
alternatively by a special DIN rail connector (Rail Power Supply).

2.1.4 Connecting to network
The FG-260 provides the following network connections:
EtherNet/IP and
PROFINET
Note
We strongly recommend connecting the two Ethernet interfaces to
different physical LAN networks (EtherNet/IP communication
system and PROFINET communication system).

Chapter 2 - Installation
14 FG-260 - Quick Startup Guide
Ethernet ports
The FG-260 is equipped with two 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface
receptacles (RJ45). The Ethernet interface labeled EtherNet/IP is to be
connected to an EtherNet/IP network. The Ethernet interface labeled
PROFINET is to be connected to a PROFINET network.
The Ethernet port corresponds to the IEEE 802.3 with the pin assignment
shown below.
