Installing Block I/O
In this chapter you will learn how to mount the block, how to connect the
remote I/O link, how to connect the input and output wiring to the block,
and how to terminate the remote I/O link.
Before installation, you must determine:
the number of blocks desired
the total distance of the installation
transmission rate desired
Mounting dimensions for the block I/O module are shown in Figure 2.1.
Mount the blocks horizontally with a minimum of 2” between blocks. This
air gap is necessary to maintain proper cooling air flow through the block.
