The Ex analog output modules have the following mechanical features:

• Compact configuration;
  the rugged plastic housing contains:
  • A shared red group fault LED for all circuits
  • One red LED each per channel for displaying channel-specific faults/errors, e.g., wire break or load break
  • Slot for front connector or cable guide, protected by the front cover
  • Labeling area on the front cover.
• Easy installation:
  The module is mounted on the DIN rail and connected to the adjacent modules via bus connectors. There are no slot rules; the addresses of the inputs are predetermined by the slot.
• User-friendly wiring:
  The modules are wired by means of a plug-in front connector. When they are first plugged in, a coding element clicks into place so that the connector will only fit into modules of the same type. The front connector contains a special cable guide to cover the module's 24 V load power supply. When the module is replaced, the front connector can be used in its fully-wired state for the new module of the same type.
