Mounting Guidelines
Before installing the PLC system you will need to know the dimensions of the components
considered. The diagrams on the following pages provide the component dimensions to use
in defining your enclosure specifications. Remember to leave room for potential expansion.
NOTE: If you are using other components in your system, refer to the appropriate manual to determine
how those units can affect mounting dimensions.
Base Dimensions
The following information shows the proper mounting dimensions. The height dimension is
the same for all bases. The depth varies depending on your choice of I/O module. The length
varies as the number of slots increase. Make sure you have followed the installation guidelines
for proper spacing.
