Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Designed for decentralized installation directly at the machine level. Ensure the module is securely mounted using the integrated mounting points.
• Environment: While IP67-rated, avoid prolonged submersion in liquids or exposure to high-pressure cleaning systems unless specified in the detailed product manual.
• Wiring: Use appropriate M8 or M12 connectors (depending on version) to maintain the IP67 seal. Ensure all unused ports are capped with protective covers to prevent ingress.
• Grounding: Ensure the module is properly grounded according to Interbus specifications to protect against electrical surges and noise interference.
• Connectivity: Connect the Interbus communication cable and the 24V DC power supply, ensuring that the total current load does not exceed the specified limits for the module.
