Is there a mounting bracket to attach the PD-04P controller to a DIN rail? My google skills are failing me, I can't find anything about mounting this controller.
Thanks

Good afternoon Pattie. No, we do not offer a bracket to attach the P Series drive (or any of our other drives) to DIN rail. There are several reasons for this:
A little more on that last point: very often, DIN rail is shipped anodized from the factory and its surface is not conductive at all. The installer needs to scrape some of the anodize away or rely on the mounting bracket "biting" the rail to get contact. In any case, this offers very little surface area to be used for grounding, which means electrical noise generated by the drive cannot use the panel as a return path.
I might have given that third point a little more attention than it deserves here, but it is one of those things that is good to know about DIN rail. High frequency equipment like servo drives should generally not be mounted that way.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
