Spring-Style I/O Carrier
Din Rail Mounting
The carrier snaps easily onto a 7.5 mm x 35 mm DIN rail. The DIN rail must be
electrically grounded to provide EMC protection. The rail must have a
conductive (unpainted) corrosion-resistant finish.
For applications requiring maximum resistance to mechanical vibration and
shock, the carrier must also be panel-mounted. Refer to chapter 2 for
installation instructions.
Features
 The Spring-Style I/O Carrier supports up to 32 I/O points and 4
common/power connections.
 Easily-set keying dials to assure installation of the correct type of module
on the carrier. Keys can be set to match the keying on the bottom of the
module. A complete list of module keying is included in appendix D.
 Carrier-to-carrier mating connectors for quick installation of the backplane
connection with no additional cables or tools needed.
 Module latch hole for securely fastening the module to the carrier.
 A clear protective hinged door covering the wiring terminals. The printed
wiring card provided with each I/O module can be folded and inserted in
this door.
 Notches on the lower edge for attaching an Auxiliary I/O Terminal Strip if
extra bussed connection points are needed.
