Installation and Programming Manual
Chapter 3: Mounting and Wiring

This chapter provides instructions for mounting and wiring the PLC Interface Module. These instructions
have been divided into two sections: Section 3.1: Mounting and Section 3.2: Wiring.
Things to Consider
It is recommended that you consider the following before installing the PLC Interface Module:
To minimize the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI), the monitor should be
mounted as far away as possible from motor starters, drives and control relays.
The monitor should be mounted in an area free of water spray, corrosive gases, fl ying
chips, or any other foreign matter that could cause damage to the unit.
If the module is mounted directly on the machine, it should be installed in an area
where shock and vibration will be minimized.
The module should be located in an area that is within the temperature and humidity
specifi cations. (See Appendix D: Specifi cations.)
3.1: Mounting
Interface Module
To assist you in mounting the PLC Interface Module, refer to Figure 3-1. Perform the following steps:
1. According to the dimensions as shown in Figure 3-1, cut out a section of the panel
you wish to mount the module in.
2. Remove the mounting rails on the left and right side of the unit by removing the
#6-32 UNC screws located on the rear of the unit.
3. Place the module in the cutout section of the panel.
4. From behind the panel, insert the two mounting rails into the module’s side grooves.
The feet of the rails must be inserted fi rst. See Figure 3-1 for the location of the
mounting rails.
The mounting rails secure the monitor by their feet being pressed against the back
of the panel.
