5.1 Basics
Introduction
All modules of the S7-1500 automation system are unenclosed equipment. This means that
you may only install this system in housings, cabinets or electrical operating rooms. These
housings, cabinets or electrical operating rooms must only be accessible with a key or tool.
Access may only be possible for instructed or authorized personnel.
Installation position
The S7-1500 automation system can be used in a horizontal installation for ambient
temperatures up to 60 °C and in vertical installation for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.
Additional information can be found in the chapter Mechanical and climatic ambient

Mounting rail
In addition to the S7-1500 modules, components to EN 60715 can be mounted on the
S7-1500 mounting rail, for example modules from the S7-1200 and ET 200SP spectrum,
terminals, circuit breakers, small contactors or similar components.
These components can influence the installation dimensions for the cable duct.
Modules can be mounted up to the outer edge of the mounting rail (marginless assembly).
These mounting rails are available in various lengths. You can order them via the online
catalog or the online ordering system. The deliverable lengths and order numbers can be
found in the Accessories/spare parts (Page 193) section.
