6.5 Mechanical and Climatic Environmental Conditions 
  ET 200S Distributed I/O System - Fail-Safe Modules 
58  Installation and Operating Manual, 08/2008, A5E00103686-07 
Mechanical Environmental Conditions 
The table below shows the mechanical environmental conditions for F-modules in the form of 
sinusoidal oscillations. 
 
Frequency Range (Hz)  Continuous  Intermittent 
10 ≤ f ≤ 58  Amplitude = 0.15 mm  Amplitude = 0.35 mm 
58 ≤ f ≤ 150  Constant acceleration = 2 g  Constant acceleration = 5 g 
Reduction of Vibration 
If the F-modules are exposed to substantial shock or vibration, you must take appropriate 
measures to reduce the acceleration and amplitude. 
We recommend that you mount the ET 200S on damping material (for example, on a rubber-
metal vibration damper).
