module security, SNAP PAC racks have provisions for two 4-40
by ½-inch standard machine screws to hold each module in
position.
All SNAP PAC racks offer panel mounting and the option of
DIN-rail mounting. DIN-rail adapter part numbers are shown in
the table below. For more information, see form 1772, the
SNAP TEX Mounting/Wiring Tools and Spare Parts Data Sheet.
SNAP PAC racks require a 5 VDC power source. One power
supply can usually power the rack, the I/O processor
(controller or brain), and all modules on the rack. See form
1120, the
SNAP Power Supplies Data Sheet,
to choose a power
supply.
Description
SNAP PAC I/O mounting racks are designed to hold an
intelligent SNAP I/O processor—a SNAP PAC EB-series or SB-
series brain or a SNAP PAC R-series on-the-rack controller—
and several I/O modules. Both standard wired controllers and
brains and Wired+Wireless models are mounted on these
racks.
Since SNAP analog, digital, and serial I/O modules all have the
same footprint, customers using SNAP PAC racks can mix all
these modules on the same I/O mounting rack. Field devices
are wired directly to the top-mounted connectors on the
modules plugged into each rack, or through breakout boards
when additional wiring space is required. (See form 1756, the
SNAP TEX Cables and Breakout Boards Data Sheet,
for more
information.)
SNAP PAC racks can accommodate up to 4, 8, 12, or 16 I/O
modules. Part numbers ending in -FM are Factory Mutual
approved.
The module and rack design allows modules to simply “snap”
on the mounting rack.

Notes on Grounding
Pin 18 E GND on each module (see diagram above right) is connected
to the rack’s GND. Module hold-down screws are also connected to
the rack’s GND.
The brain or rack-mounted controller is connected to the rack’s GND
through its center hold-down screw.

Mounting the Extrusion onto a Panel
NOTE: If you are not using hold-down screws, the SNAP PAC
rack assembly should be mounted horizontally.
Use the following steps to mount a rack onto a panel. For DIN-
rail mounting, see form #1772, the
SNAP TEX Mounting/Wiring
and Spare Parts Data Sheet.
Alternate Method: Prefabrication of Panels
(No product on site)
Mounting holes are in sets of two, located on lower left and
upper right with respect to a center line (CL).
1.
Using the diagram below, determine CL1 mounting hole
positions. (CL1 is located on the left side of all SNAP PAC
rack mounting extrusions.)
2.
Use the center-to-center length specification table
below to determine the offset between center lines and
the number of center line positions for each model.
3.
Repeat the process for each center line position.
SNAP PAC Racks
Preferred Method: Template
(Product on site)
1.
Use SNAP PAC rack mounting extrusion as template.
2.
Use the diagram below to determine required product
and option clearances.
