Important system note
When the number of selected N-Series I/O boards exceeds 20, an additional power module is required. If the number is less than 20, no extra power module is needed.
Installation and wiring
Key operating steps from the N4086 manual.
The manual specifies the installation sequence, module insertion and removal procedure, cable selection rules, and the N4086 wiring example.
Installation sequence
Mount the coupler and I/O modules on a DIN 35 rail compliant with IEC 60715, then assemble modules from the fieldbus coupler left to right.
Inserting a module
Align the spring contact with the groove, keep the rail clip unlocked, press the module into position until it snaps onto the rail, and lock the rail clip.
Removing a module
Use a flat-head screwdriver or similar tool to pry the rail clip upward, then pull the I/O module away from the DIN rail.
Cable selection
Cage clamps accept solid, stranded, and fine-stranded conductors. Use one conductor per clamp, 0.3 to 2.5 mm² / AWG 22 to 14, with an 8 to 9 mm strip length.
