Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the controller is flush-mounted in a vibration-dampened panel enclosure.
• Maintain proper clearance around the unit to ensure adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for all communication interfaces (CANopen/Modbus) to minimize EMI interference.
• Verify supply voltage polarity before powering the unit; ensure the DC supply is within the 8 to 40 VDC range.
• Always disconnect power before performing wiring changes or maintenance on the terminal blocks.
• Ensure a solid chassis ground connection to the panel to prevent electrical noise issues.

FAQ
