This section shows the correct mounting positions for the TM5 Safety-Related System.
Remote and distributed configurations follow the same rules.
The TM5 Safety-Related System should only be positioned as shown in the correct or acceptable mounting position figures below.
The TM5 Safety-Related System must be mounted horizontally on a vertical plane as shown in the figures below:
NOTE: The Safety Controller TM5CSLC100FS/TM5CSLC200FS can only be connected with the safety-related modules via the Sercos III Bus Interface TM5NS31. There is no electrical connection between Safety Controllers and the safety-related modules via the bus base.
NOTE: Keep adequate spacing for proper ventilation and to maintain an ambient temperature as described in the environmental characteristics.
Whenever possible, the TM5 Safety-Related System should only be positioned in the horizontal mounting position. This position affords the best heat dissipation of the devices.
However, the TM5 Safety-Related System can also be mounted sideways on a vertical plane as shown below.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage. |
NOTE: Use an end bracket (reference AB1 AB8R35 for example) to help secure the configuration.
NOTE: The TM5 configuration is temperature de-rated when installed vertically. Refer to the specific characteristics for your devices.
