Installing the PROFIBUS Adapter

General

This chapter describes how to install and wire your adapter.

When properly installed, POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail

to chassis ground. Use zinc plated, yellow chromated steel DIN rail to

assure proper grounding.

Other DIN rail material (such as aluminum, plastic, etc.) can corrode

or oxidize and are poor conductors that may result in improper or

intermittent platform grounding.

If you choose not to use zinc plated, yellow chromated steel DIN rail

for your POINT I/O, periodically clean the DIN rail to prevent or

lessen the effects of oxidation and corrosion.
