Wiring Recommendation
When wiring without spade lugs, keep the finger-safe covers in place. Loosen the terminal
screw and route the wires through the opening in the finger-safe cover. Tighten the terminal
screw, making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into the controller
could cause damage. Once wiring is complete, be sure the controller is free of
all metal fragments before removing the protective debris strip. Failure to
remove the strip before operating can cause overheating.

TIP
ATTENTION
Finger-safe cover
44528
Spade Lug Recommendation
The diameter of the terminal screw head is 5.5 mm (0.220 in.). The input and output
terminals of the MicroLogix 1400 controller are designed for the following spade lugs. The
terminals will accept a 6.35mm (0.25 in.) wide spade (standard for #6 screw for up to 14
AWG) or a 4 mm (metric #4) fork terminal.
When using spade lugs, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver to pry the finger-safe cover from
the terminal blocks, then loosen the terminal screw.
Surge Suppression
Publication 1766-IN001E-EN-P - April 2017
If you wire the terminal block with the finger-safe cover removed, you may not
be able to put it back on the terminal block if the wires are in the way.
Inductive load devices such as motor starters and solenoids require the use of
some type of surge suppression to protect the controller output. Switching
inductive loads without surge suppression can significantly reduce the life of
relay contacts or damage transistor outputs. By using suppression, you also
reduce the effects of voltage transients caused by interrupting the current to
that inductive device, and prevent electrical noise from radiating into system
wiring. Refer to the MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controller User Manual,
publication 1766-UM001
, for more information on surge suppression.

Grounding the Controller
In solid-state control systems, grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due
to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw of
the controller to the ground bus prior to connecting any devices. Use AWG #14 wire. For
AC-powered controllers, this connection must be made for safety purposes.
You must also provide an acceptable grounding path for each device in your application. For
more information on proper grounding guidelines, refer to the Industrial Automation Wiring
and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1.

Minimizing Electrical Noise on Analog Channels
Inputs on analog channels employ digital high-frequency filters that significantly reduce the
effects of electrical noise on input signals. However, because of the variety of applications and
environments where analog controllers are installed and operated, it is impossible to ensure
that all environmental noise will be removed by the input filters.
Several specific steps can be taken to help reduce the effects of environmental noise on
analog signals:
Install the MicroLogix 1400 system in a properly rated (NEMA) enclosure. Make sure
that the MicroLogix 1400 system is properly grounded.
Use Belden cable #8761 for wiring the analog channels, making sure that the drain
wire and foil shield are properly earth grounded, (see Grounding Your Analog Cable
on page 27 for more information).
Route the Belden cable separately from any AC wiring. Additional noise immunity can
be obtained by routing the cables in grounded conduit.
Grounding Your Analog Cable
Use shielded communication cable
(Belden #8761). The Belden cable
has two signal wires (black and
clear), one drain wire, and a foil
shield. The drain wire and foil
shield must be grounded at one
end of the cable.
Do not ground the drain wire and foil shield at both ends of the cable.
