• The PLC can be easily moved and removed.
• The PLC is installed higher by the height of the DIN rail.
→ For details on the procedures on mounting and removing the DIN rail, refer to Section 8.4.
2. Direct installing (with screws)
• The PLC can be installed directly in the enclosure with M4 screws.
→ For the mounting hole pitch, refer to Section 8.5.
