Locations for Field Control

The Profibus Bus Interface Unit and Field Control I/O modules can be located on

equipment, in junction boxes, inside panels, behind operator stations, and in other

locations where space is limited. The area should be clean, free of airborne contaminants,

and provide adequate cooling. Field Control modules can be installed in NEMA

enclosures. The enclosure can be as little as 4 inches (10.16 cm) deep. A 35mm x 7.5mm

DIN rail is required.

The Bus Interface Unit Terminal Block and up to four I/O Terminal Blocks are grouped

together  using the connection cables provided. All of the I/O Terminal Blocks in a group

must be connected either before or after the Bus Interface Unit. A Bus Interface Unit

may not be connected between I/O Terminal Blocks.
