Hardware Introduction
3.1 Hardware Mounting
ATTENTION
During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (metal chips, wire
strands, etc.) is kept from falling into the controller. Debris that falls into the controller
could cause damage while the controller is energized.
3.1.1 DIN Rail Mounting/ re-Mounting
Mounting on DIN rail
Step 1: Install the 7.5 mm or 15 mm DIN Rail
Step 2: Snap the AC500 CPU on the DIN Rail. The AC500 CPU will be placed on top of the DIN
Rail and then snapped on the bottom.
Figure 5 Mounting of the AC500 CPU
Step 3: Mounting the I/O Module to CPU. The I/O Module is snapped into the DIN rail in the same
way as the CPU. Once secured to the DIN rail, slide the I/O Module to the left until it fully locks
into place creating a solid mechanical and electrical connection.
