4. Hardware Setup

The ValueCAN 4 Industrial DIN rail mounting is designed to occupy very little extra space, thus enabling a compact system design, in particular when several units are assembled next to each other.

The ValueCAN 4 Industrial and its add-on modules are easy to mount and dismount from a DIN rail. The system uses a mounting clip that will attach to the DIN Rail in a manner that ensures a rigid fixation to the rail and allows the ValueCAN 4 Industrial and its add-on modules to be snapped into the mounting clip.

4.1. Mounting the ValueCAN 4 Industrial

Mounting an add-on module to the DIN Rail is done by:

  1. Mount the mounting clip into the DIN Rail to the right of the already mounted module(s).

  2. Mount the add-on module by inserting the module so that the mounting clip fits into the guiding rail of the module, and applying slight pressure of the module against the DIN Rail so that the module locks into place,

  3. Make sure that module fits into the guide rails of the previous module. Repeat the procedure for all add-on modules.

  4. When the ValueCAN 4 Industrial module was attached to the mounting clip, a robust and rigid mounting to the DIN Rail was established.

To remove a ValueCAN 4 Industrial Module:

  1. Press the button of the mounting clip on the bottom.

  2. Pull the module out from the DIN Rail.

  3. Remove the mounting clip from the DIN Rail by use of a screw driver.

  4. Press the mounting clip before removing a module from the DIN Rail.
