8 Install Your FLEX I/O Adapter
Mount Your Adapter on a
DIN Rail
Follow these steps to mount the adapter on a new system before installing any
I/O modules.
1. Position the adapter module (A) on an IEC standard (35 x 7.5 x 1 mm)
top-hat DIN rail (B) at a slight angle (DIN rail: Allen-Bradley part
number 199-DR1; 46277-3; EN50022).
2. Hook the lip on the rear of the adapter onto the top of the DIN rail, and
pivot the adapter module onto the rail.
3. Press the adapter module down onto the DIN rail until flush. Locking tab
(C) snaps the adapter into position and locks it onto the DIN rail.
4. If the adapter module does not lock in place, use a screwdriver or similar
device to move the locking tab down while pressing the adapter module
flush onto the DIN rail, and release the locking tab to lock the adapter
module in place.
If necessary, push up on the locking tab to lock.
5. Connect the adapter wiring as shown in the Connect Wiring diagram.
ATTENTION: During mounting of all devices, be sure that all
debris (for example, metal chips, wire strands) is kept from falling
into the module. Debris that falls into the module could cause
damage on power up.
ATTENTION: Do not remove or replace an Adapter Module while
power is applied. Interruption of the backplane can result in
unintentional operation or machine motion.
