Installation Rules

For a horizontal configuration, the CPU and power supply must be arranged on the left. For a vertical configuration, the CPU and power supply must be arranged at the bottom The following minimum clearances must be maintained:

20 mm to the right and left of the rack 40 mm above and below for a single-tier configuration and at least 80 mm between two racks

The interface module always occupies the space next to the CPU
There may be a maximum of eight I/O modules (signal modules, function modules, communication processors) inserted in a rack A multi-tier configuration is possible only for the CPU 314/315/316 Please ensure that there is a low resistance connection between the rail and the substructure, such as through contact washers.

Preparing for Operation

Insert the keyswitch in the CPU ! Install the back-up battery !

if the user program is not stored in a power failureproof way in the memory module

if larger data areas must remain retentive during a power failure

Insert the memory module if required !


so that the user program and the data are retained during Power OFF and without a back-up battery to have a larger "load memory" available.
