2.7 Methods of Ventilation
Methods of Ventilation
Under extreme ambient conditions, particularly when operating S7-400 modules in
cabinets, you c an use the cable duct or fan subassembly to optimize ventilation.
There are two methods of supplying air to the modules. You draw in air either from
the back or from below. The cable duct and fan subassembly can be converted for
this purpose.
The following figure shows the ventilation when air is drawn in from the back.
