SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
Installing 575 System Hardware
4.4 Enclosure and Temperature Considerations
An enclosure should provide the following features:
• Easy access to components.
• A common ground potential on the cabinet.
• A secure vertical panel or rails.
• Conformance to electrical standards.
• An electromagnetic shield, if needed to meet FCC or CE emission
standards.
• Access restricted to authorized personnel only.
• Adequate cooling and heat dissipation.
• Protection from dust and dirt as required by the environment.
Mount the components in a dustproof and drip-tight enclosure, such as a
NEMA enclosure. The enclosure must provide a minimum depth of 12
inches (305 mm) from the panel to the inside surface of the enclosure door.
The enclosure should be located so that the doors can be opened fully,
permitting easy access to the controller, wiring, and components. If
environmental conditions permit, a 19-inch rack may be used instead of a
NEMA enclosure.
The SIMATIC 575 PLC System complies with the requirements of the EMC
Directive 89/336/EEC when installed in accordance with the specifications
in this manual and when installed in a grounded metal cabinet with tightly
sealed doors. If Series 505 Remote I/O channel cables to remote bases are
run outside the cabinet, they must either be run in a fully enclosed metal
raceway or fitted with ferrite beads where they leave and/or enter the
cabinets. Ferrites shall be Steward PN 28-A-2029-0 or equivalent.
For SIMATIC 575 Systems, a line filter must be connected in the power
lines to the system in order to comply with the EMC directive. The line filter
shall be Corcom part no. 10VS1 or equivalent Filter Network connected
ahead of each power supply.
The 575–2130 VMEbus base can be operated with or without the optional
fan assembly, PPX:575–2131. The maximum rated operating temperature of
the controller is 60°C. In an environment where ambient temperatures do
not exceed 40°C, or where other means of cooling are available, operating
the VMEbus base without the fan assembly is a cost-saving option. When
operating without the fan assembly, additional derating of power supplies
and I/O modules is required. For more information about the fan assembly
option, see Section 4.5.
