 Installation Rules
The module is designed to be installed in vertical position on a DIN IEC EN 60715 rail. In
order to ensure optimum performance and the longest working life, the module(s) must be
supplied adequate ventilation and no raceways or other objects that obstruct the ventilation
slots. Never install modules above sources of heat; we recommend installation in the lower
part of the control panel.

Inserting on the Module

DIN rail
Inserting on the DIN IEC EN 60715 rail
As it is illustrated in the next figure:
1) Insert the rear IDC10 connector on a DIN
rail free slot (there’s only one way to insert the
module because of polarized connector).
2) Tighten the two locks placed at the sides of
the rear IDC10 connector to fix the module.

DIN rail

Electrical Connections
Power supply and MODBUS interface
Power Supply and Modbus interface are available by using the bus for the Seneca DIN
rail, by the rear IDC10 connector or by Z-PC-DINAL2-17,5 accessory.

 Digital Inputs
REED, PROXIMITY, PNP, NPN, and contact-type sensors can be connected to the
input
terminals. The power supply for these sensors can be taken directly from Terminal 1
(+16V). All the inputs are connected in shared connection to Terminal 12 (GND).
The current that flows through a closed input is approx. 3 mA.

Modbus connection rules

1) Install the modules on the DIN IEC EN 60715 rail (max 120).
2) Connect the remote modules using cables of proper length. On the table the following
data about the cables length are provided:
- Bus Length: Modbus network maximum length as a function of the Baud rate. It is the
lenght of the cables which connect the two bus terminators modules (see Scheme 1).
- Derivation Length: Derivation line Maximum length as a function of the Baud Rate
(see Scheme 1).

For the best performances, the use of special shielded cables is recommended
(BELDEN 9841 cable for example)
