CompactRIO Reconfigurable Embedded Chassis 6 ni.com Mounting the CompactRIO Reconfigurable Embedded Chassis You can mount the chassis on a panel, on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a rack, in an enclosure, or on a desktop. Use the DIN rail mounting method if you already have a DIN rail configuration or if you need to be able to quickly remove the CompactRIO chassis. Use the panel mount method for high shock and vibration applications. Use an enclosure for harsh, dirty, or wet environments. Caution If the ambient temperature is 56 °C to 70 °C, you must mount the chassis on a thermally conductive material. For information about how mounting configuration can affect the accuracy of C Series modules, go to ni.com/info and enter the info code rdcriotemp. Measure the ambient temperature at each side of the CompactRIO system, 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) from the side, and 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the rear cover of the system. Go to ni.com/info and enter the info code criomounting to learn more about the different mounting methods for CompactRIO. Before using any of the mounting methods, record the serial number from the back of the chassis. You will be unable to read the serial number after you have mounted the chassis. Caution Before you mount the chassis, make sure that I/O modules are not in the chassis. Your installation must meet the following requirements for space and cabling clearance: Caution • Allow 25.4 mm (1 in.) on the top and the bottom of the chassis for air circulation. • Allow 50.8 mm (2 in.) in front of modules for cabling clearance for common connectors, such as the 10-terminal, detachable screw-terminal connector, as shown in Figure 3. Go to ni.com/info and enter rdcrioconn to find the minimum cabling clearance for C Series modules with other connector types.
