Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Template
Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template
The following procedure lets you use the assembled modules as a template for
drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel mounting equipment,
you can use the dimensional template provided on
page 16 . Due to module
mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures.
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all
module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
7. Repeat steps 1…6 for any remaining modules.
DIN Rail Mounting
The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails:
• 35 x 7.5 mm (1.38 x 0.30 in.; EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5)
• 35 x 15 mm (1.38 x 0.59 in.; EN 50 022 - 35 x 15)
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the
DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will
momentarily open and lock into place.
Spacing for single-wide modules 35mm (1.378 in.)
Spacing for one-and-a half-wide modules 52.5mm (2.067 in.)
Refer to host controller documentation for this dimension.

TIP If you are mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this group
and put the others aside. This reduces remounting time during drilling
and tapping of the next group.
