Figure 1-50 shows a cabinet of the RM500 type. Features and applications are listed below:
)LJXUH &DELQHWW\SH50
• RM500 is prepared for installation of subracks, process connection units and terminal
blocks. Subracks are used to house circuit boards and other plug-in units.
• RM500V1 features a 19-inch and a 24-inch installation width. The latter is applied to
process connection equipment. The 24-inch installation width and shallow cabinet design
facilitates the installation and the maintenance. RM500V2 only features the 19-inch
installation width.
• Entrance to the rear of the cabinet is not necessary. Controller hardware is physically
installed and electrically connected from the front.
Certain equipment, like the S100 I/O subrack, is mounted in a hinged frame in the cabinet.
This enables entrance and possible maintenance and repair of parts of the subrack which
are only accessible from the rear, for example, units for voltage regulation.
• The cabinet front door is hung at either the left-hand or the right-hand side adapted to the
final cabinet configuration determined at the design. Please check that the position of the
hinges is acceptable with respect to the final location of the cabinets on site.
• A double door variant is available for the RM500V1.
• Process wiring usually enters through the floor of the cabinet.
