Figure 4-1 Placing the module vertically
For basic information about the Axioline F system and its installation, particularly mount-
ing/removing Axioline F modules, please refer to the UM EN AXL F SYS INST user man-
ual ("Axioline F: system and installation").
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge!
The device contains components that can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic dis-
charge. When handling the device, observe the necessary safety precautions against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) according to EN 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-5-1.
NOTE: Electrical damage due to inadequate external protection – no safe fuse trip
in the event of an error
The electronics in the device are damaged due to inadequate external protection.
• Protect the supply voltage externally in accordance with the connected load (number
of Axioline F devices/amount of logic current consumption for each device).
• Make sure the external fuse blows safely in the event of an error.
NOTE: Damage to the contacts when tilting
If the controller/modules tilt, you can damage the contacts.
• Place the modules onto the DIN rail vertically (see Figure 4-1).
Please note:
• During all work on the Axioline F station, the controller or a module, switch off the
power supply to the Axioline F station and make sure the supply voltage is protected
against unauthorized re-activation.
The controller is automatically grounded (FE) when it is snapped onto a grounded
DIN rail.
On the back of the controller there are two FE springs that make contact with the DIN rail
when the controller is placed on the DIN rail.
