Mounting
Mount EtherCAT Box modules with two M4 screws in the centrally located fixing holes.
The screws must be longer than 15 mm. The fastening holes in the modules have no thread.
 | Protect connectors against soiling Protect all module connections from soiling during installation! The protection classes IP65, IP66, IP67 (in accordance with EN 60529) are ensured only if all connectors are wired or sealed! Unused connectors must be sealed with suitable protective caps (see Beckhoff catalog for connector sets and protective caps)! |
| Cooling plate The EP9224-0037 module has a cooling plate on the underside. For the effective dissipation of the resultant power loss, the box must be bolted to a metal base, e.g. the machine bed, if possible making contact over the entire surface. A temperature-related automatic switch-off of the box can occur if care is not taken to ensure that the power loss from the module is dissipated via the cooling plate. A corresponding temperature error bit is then set! |
Note when mounting that the overall height is increased further by the fieldbus connections. See chapter Accessories.
