Connect the IE switch and the PS598-1 with one cable for 24 VDC and a cable for ground. 
As an alternative, you can also mount the PS598-1 on the rear of the IE switch and secure it 
with screws. In this case, no extra cables are necessary. You will find detailed information in 
the section "Installation (Page 37)". 
Two PS598-1 per device, 1-out-of-2 redundancy

Connect the IE switch and the PS598-1 with one cable for 24 VDC and a cable for ground. 
As an alternative, you can also mount the two PS598-1 power supply units on the rear of the 
IE switch and secure them with screws. In this case, no extra cables are necessary. You will 
find detailed information in the section "Assembling (Page 37)". It is also possible to operate 
the IE switch even after the failure of one PS598-1. The IE switch detects the failure of a 
power source and signals the failure. The PS598-1 units share the applied load automatically 
and uniformly. 
Three PS598-1 units for two devices - 2-out-of-3 redundancy
