Installation Guidelines
For reliable communication and optimal electrical isolation, mount the module securely inside an IP54-rated (or higher) protective enclosure onto standard 35mm DIN rail. Maintain adequate spacing from high-voltage cables and variable frequency drives (VFDs) to prevent electromagnetic interference. Utilize standard DeviceNet-compliant shielded cabling for network communication, ensuring the network drain wire is grounded at a single point in the system layout.
