FAQs

VX 8617.661 is designed for use inside VX and VX SE enclosures. It attaches directly to the enclosure section and accommodates system punchings in the edge fold, enabling flexible interior layouts and scalable component mounting without needing additional adapters or tools.
Begin by confirming enclosure dimensions match the plate footprint, then align the plate with the interior mounting plane. Use the supplied assembly parts to fasten it to the enclosure section, ensuring edge-fold punchings remain accessible for subsequent wiring and component installation. Verify alignment before wiring to prevent misfits.
Key specs include dimensions 500x600 mm (plate), width 438 mm, height 598 mm, material sheet steel 1.5 mm, surface zinc-plated, weight 3.4 kg per pack, and it contains assembly parts. It is intended for VX and VX SE enclosures with direct attachment capability.
The plate uses corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel and is designed to integrate with standard VX enclosures, supporting typical industrial environments. While standards like CE compliance are expected for complete systems, ensure the assembled enclosure meets your site-specific regulatory requirements and that the overall installation adheres to applicable electrical and safety codes.
The plate simplifies interior mounting, reduces install time, and enables easier future upgrades, which lowers labor costs and minimizes downtime during changes. Its durable construction reduces replacement frequency, providing a measurable maintenance and lifecycle cost benefit for medium to large automation cabinets.
