DIN Rail installation
The modules are supplied in a plastic box that can be easily attached to the DIN
rail by hooking it on the top of the rail and pressing it in on the opposite side. To
detach the box, pull downward on the tab located at the rear of the module. The I/O
modules are mounted the same way.
Before removing the box, carefully disconnect the flat cable (bus) of the I
