Installation Guidelines
-
Mounting: Install the CPU module securely onto the designated AC500 terminal base on a standard DIN rail.
-
Wiring: Ensure all power connections use a stabilized 24 VDC source with appropriate overcurrent protection.
-
Grounding: Connect the functional earth connection on the terminal base directly to the system's low-impedance ground bus.
-
Ventilation: Maintain standard clearance distances above and below the module to permit natural convection cooling and prevent thermal buildup.
