Install the Webmanager and any Splitting Boxes
Before attaching the bus cables:
-
Consider what bus cable lengths to use, the cables are available in multiple lengths to avoid unnecessary cable length.
-
Check the information and maximum distances for the bus cable installation in the chapter Bus Cable Length and Wiring Details.
-
If a repeater is needed because the maximum distance is exceeded, install the repeater less than 100 m (328 ft) from the webmanager. The maximum distances are then calculated from the repeater instead of the webmanager.
- Mount the webmanager or the control cabinet with the webmanager inside.
- If applicable, mount the splitting box(es).
- Only for solutions without splitting box(es):
-
Only for solutions with splitting box(es):
- Attach the bus cable(s) (A) from the closest module(s) to the splitting box(es).
- If applicable, attach the bus cables (A) between any additional splitting boxes.
- Attach the bus cable (B) from the closest splitting box to the webmanager.
- Attach the power supply cable (C) to the webmanager.
IMPORTANT: Always use a secure power source as the power supply to the webmanager.
