Questions for the review
The following questions provide guidance for the review of your S7-1500 automation system
in the form of a checklist.
Racks
● Are the mounting rails firmly installed on the wall, in the framework, or in the cabinet?
● Are the cable ducts correctly installed?
● Have the minimum clearances been observed?
Grounding and chassis concept
● Is the mounting rail connected to the protective conductor?
● Has the connection between reference ground and ground been correctly made on all
mounting rails?
● Are the required equipotential bonding cables connected with low impedance to the
affected analog parts?
Module installation and wiring
● Are all the modules inserted / installed in accordance with the mounting plan and
corresponding to the configuration with STEP 7 and screwed firmly to the mounting rail?
● Are all the front connectors wired according to the circuit diagram, in the final position,
and inserted on the correct module?
● Are the correct modules installed and connected to each other with U connectors?
● Are U-connectors projecting either at the left-hand or right-hand over the outer modules
at the S7-1500 automation system?
System power supply or load current supply
