Generic documentation
Installation without tools
A field multiplexer station is set up by mounting the individual components side by side. No
tools are required. Mounting the components side by side automatically creates potential
and bus signal connections between the individual station components.
Mounting location
As all other terminals of the Inline product range the field multiplexer has IP20 protection and
is designed for use in a closed control cabinet or control box (terminal box) with IP54
protection or higher.
DIN rail
The field multiplexer station is mounted on a 35 mm standard DIN rail. The station is
mounted perpendicular to the DIN rail.
End clamp
Mount end clamps on both sides of the field multiplexer station. They ensure that the field
multiplexer station is correctly mounted. End clamps fix the station on both sides and keep
it from moving from side to side on the DIN rail. Phoenix Contact recommends using
CLIPFIX 35-5 end clamps (Order No. 3022276).
End plate
The mechanical end of an field multiplexer station is the end plate. It has no electrical
function. It protects the station against ESD pulses and the user against dangerous contact
voltages. The end plate is supplied with the field multiplexer and does not have to be
ordered separately.
Mounting position
Install the field multiplexer station in a horizontal or vertical position.
Assembly/removal/
replacement
To do this, proceed as described in the IL SYS INST UM E user manual.
WARNUNG: Hazardous contact voltage
Before installing or removing the station, make absolutely sure that the power supply is
switched off and cannot be switched on again by unauthorized persons.
ACHTUNG: Electrostatic discharge
The terminal contains components that can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic
discharge. When handling the terminal, observe the necessary safety precautions against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) according to EN 61340-5-1 and EN 61340-5-2.
Please refer to the IL SYS INST UM E user manual for information on how to install and
remove the field multiplexer and the connected Inline terminals.
