Portrait assembly kit

As an alternative to installation with mounting brackets, the portrait mounting kit allows for space-saving installation of the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX (standard design without Panel Front). It is available in two models:

• Kit 1: Portrait assembly with interfaces to the front
• Kit 2: Portrait assembly with interfaces on top or bottom

Together with the kit, the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX occupies a mounting depth of 365 mm (Kit 1) or 279 mm (Kit 2) in the control cabinet. The limitations associated with portrait assembly regarding vibration and shock resistance are relatively small (see technical specifications).

Since all interfaces are accessible from the front when using Kit 1, this type of assembly is particularly suitable for commissioning and servicing.

Please observe the information on operation planning and device installation in the manual of the SIMATIC IPC627D in conjunction with the use of portrait mounting kits for SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX.
