Packing List

  • 1 x EtherCAT Coupler

Installation

TIP

  • DIN-rail is not included in the box, the following is intended as an installation illustration only.
  • Before you start installing, please turn off the power to the coupler.

Step

Slip the notches on the back of the EtherCAT Coupler over the DIN-rail, then press it and push in the DIN snap pin to secure the EtherCAT Coupler to the DIN rail.

Dismantling

TIP

  • Before you start installing, please turn off the power and disconnect the cable to the coupler.

Step

Hold the snap pin of the coupler by hand and then pull it out in the direction of the arrow to disengage the coupler from the DIN-rail.
