Straight modules, top 1:
►Position module [1] with the locating pins [2] in the elongated holes in the machine bed [3]
►Carefully push module [1] into module [4]
►Make sure that the connector card engages

Mounting with alignment gauge [+]

Mount modules with alignment gauge [+]

Beckhoff recommends using the optional alignment gauge for mounting the straight modules AT2x0x-0250.

If you are not using an alignment gauge, you can use a vernier caliper, for example.

Straight modules, top 3:

The distance from the center of the first locating pin of a module to the center of the first locating pin in the aligned module must be 250 mm. The modules are aligned at the specified distance using the alignment gauge.

Straight modules, top 4:

Make sure that you place the alignment gauge correctly on the modules. The alignment gauge must be flush with the outer edges of the modules and the marking [1] of the alignment gauge must be in the middle [2] above two modules.

Straight modules, top 5:
►Place the alignment gauge [1] on the locating pins of two adjacent modules [2] and [3]
Straight modules, top 6:
►Hand-tighten the screw [1] with the washer [2] in the center of the module [3]
►Remove alignment gauge [4]
Straight modules, top 7:
►Add further modules [1], depending on the length of the infeed line, with or without connector card
►Position alignment gauge [2]
►Hand-tighten the screw [3] with washer [4] in the center of the module

Mounting modules with vernier caliper

You can also mount the straight modules AT2x0x-0250 without an alignment gauge [+].

Beckhoff recommends using a vernier caliper for mounting the straight modules if you do not use the optional alignment gauge.

Straight modules, top 9:

If a vernier caliper is used, the distance from the outer edge of the first locating pin to the opposite edge of the first locating pin in the aligned module is 255 mm.

Straight modules, top 10:
►Hand-tighten the screw [1] with the washer [2] in the center of the module [3]
►Check the distance between the outer edges of the locating pins [4] with a vernier caliper
►Ensure that the distance is 255 mm
