Step 1: Mounting

The RMC should be mounted upright on a vertical surface, such that

the ventilation holes are on the top and bottom.

Mounting Options

Symmetrical DIN 3 Panel-mount

•See Discrete Input Wiring

•To turn on a discrete input, apply a voltage of the correct level. The

polarity is unimportant.

DI/O and UI/O Module

Because all the inputs share a common, all inputs on the same module

must be wired the same.

RMC150E Module

Each input has a “+” and “–” connection.

Appendix B: Mounting Dimensions for dimensions.

Clearance

The amount of clearance above and below depends on the maximum

ambient temperature:

Ambient Temperature

Clearance

122 - 140°F (50 - 60°C)

3 in. (7.6 cm)

86 - 122°F (30 - 50°C)

2 in. (5.1 cm)

Less than 86°F (30°C)

1 in. (2.5 cm)

Grounding

Make sure to properly ground the RMC. If mounted on a DIN rail, the

RMC will conduct to the DIN rail. The RMC shell is electrically

connected to its Case pins.

Step 2: Wiring

Step 2: Wiring

Wire the power, actuators and feedback devices to the RMC according

to the instructions in Appendix A: Wiring on page 30.

Note: Remove power from the RMC before connecting any wires.
