Removing the Network Module
To remove a network module, unlock it from the DIN rail by placing a
screwdriver in the slot on the rail snap and opening it to the unlocked
position as shown in Figure 2-1. Then disconnect the terminal base
from the network module’s local bus connector, and lift the module off
of the rail.
Connecting Terminal Bases
Follow these steps to connect a terminal base and a network module.
Note: Ensure that power is not applied to the network module, before you install

2. Install the terminal base onto the DIN rail in the same way you
