Chapter 2 Installation
GuardPLC 1600 and GaurdPLC 1800 controllers and I/O cannot be
panel-mounted. Mount these controllers and distributed I/O to a DIN
rail by following the steps below.
1. Hook the top slot over the DIN
rail.
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver into
the gap between the housing and
the latch and pull the latch
downward.
3. Hold the latch down as you push
the housing back onto the DIN rail.
4. Release the latch to lock the device onto the rail.
GuardPLC 2000 Chassis
The GuardPLC 2000 chassis provides two flanges with eyelets. Refer to
the illustration below. Use bolts to mount the system to a back panel.
To mount the chassis flanges, you will need four M8-size bolts with
lock washer, washer, and nut with 13 mm (0.51 in.) max head
diameter. The bolts must be long enough to accept the chassis at its
mounting place.
TIP
To remove the device from the DIN rail, insert a flathead
screwdriver into the gap between the housing and the latch
and pull the latch downward as you lift the device off of the
rail.
ATTENTION
•
Do not bend the chassis. Bending will damage the chassis
and/or the backplane inside the GuardPLC 2000 controller.
•
If the rear side of the chassis does not lie flat before the nuts
are tightened, use additional washers as shims so that the
chassis does not bend when you tighten the nuts.
