Fixing
While mounting the modules, protect all connectors, especially the IP-Link, against contamination!Only with connected cables or plugs the protection class IP67 is guaranteed! Unused connectors have to be protected with the right plugs (see for plug sets in the catalogue)!
Fieldbus Boxes are fastened with two M3 bolts. The bolts must be longer than 15 mm. The fixing holes are not threaded. When assembling, remember that a Y or T piece for fieldbus connection increases the overall height. See chapter accessories.
The space between the modules should be at least 4 cm, so that the IP-Link cable is not bent to a radius smaller than 50 mm. The extension modules may be mounted close to one another, provided you observe the following:
- The bending radius of the IP-Link cable must not be tighter than the permitted minimum.
- The ambient temperature must not exceed 55°C.
Mounting Rail ZS5300-0001
ZS5300-0001
The mounting rail ZS5300-0001 (500 mm x 129 mm) allows the time saving assembly of Extension Box modules. The rail is made of stainless steel, 1.5 mm thick, with already premade M3 threads for the modules. The rail can be mounted at the machine with M5 screws (5.3mm slots).
The rail is 500 mm long, that way 15 modules can be mounted with a distance of 2 mm between two modules. The rail can be cut to length for the application.
With mounting rail ZS5300-0001 use the IP-Link Direct Connector ZK1020-0101-1000 to avoid to fall below the minimum bending radius (50 mm) for standard IP-Link cable.

ZK1020-0101-1000
The IP-Link direct connector allows the direct connection of two Extension Box modules for an easy side-by-side mounting.
With IP-Link Direct Connector, the mounting distance between the modules is from 0 to 5 mm.
