Precautions when wiring

Take note of the following when wiring the CA-NCL10E module.

• When connecting the CA-NCL10E to a CC-Link network/ device, always use a CC-Link Ver.1.10 compatible cable or a cable approved by the CC-Link Partner Association. Stable operation cannot be guaranteed when using other cable types.

• If a CC-Link cable is used near a high voltage/current source, electrical noise may cause operational errors. If high voltage / current or electrical noise exists maintain at least 100 mm of separation between the CC-link cable and the source of the noise.

Terminating resistor

When connecting the CA-NCL10E module to either end of a CC Link network, install a terminating resistor between terminals DA and DB. Make sure to install the terminating resistors, as they reduce signal noise and stabilize communications.
