Preparation

WARNING

Establish the voltage-free and de-energized condition

Remove all fuses in the supply network and turn off the main switch on the control cabinet. Secure the control cabinet against being switched on again.

Although a distributed servo drive is no longer rotating, voltage on the control and power connections or a residual voltage in the capacitors of the coupling modules can lead to serious injuries.

Notice

Mount the coupling modules vertically and with sufficient ventilation

Observe the permissible data for operation and environment as well as the notes in this chapter.

Inadequate ventilation and incorrect installation can lead to damage to the coupling module and its components due to heat development.

Note that when dimensioning you may have to mount input filters, mains chokes and brake resistors for your application. Appropriate space should be provided for these components, so that adequate ventilation is ensured.

The following figure shows recommended dimensions that you should observe when mounting the coupling module on the machine or plant:
