Terminal Base Assemblies and RTBs

A Terminal Base Assembly consists of a POINT I/O mounting base and a separate removable terminal block (RTB) that plugs into the mounting base. The base mounts directly on the DIN rail, either vertically or horizontally, and includes user-selectable mechanical keying to prevent incorrect I/O module placement. The RTB plugs into the mounting base and provides the terminal locations for field wiring. It also provides vertical access to wire and screw terminations. The I/O module plugs into the mounting base above the RTB. The RTB separates independently from the mounting base and I/O module to facilitate rapid installation and commissioning of the system. Spare or replacement RTBs can be ordered separate from the terminal base assembly.

Alternatively, a POINT I/O one-piece mounting base, which includes integrated terminal locations, is also available. The I/O module plugs into the one-piece mounting base.
