 FANC-110SBH CC-Link Cabl e (Kuramo Electric Co.)

Refer to documentation for the CC-Link master unit and the CC-Link Installation Guide for specifications and processing methods (including stripping methods) for the special CC-Link cable.

 35505-6000-BOMGF Power Clamp Connector

Strip 4 cm of the insulating sheath from the CC-Link Version 1.10-compliant cable.

Separate the braided shield and drain wires, and then twist the drain wire with your fingers at least 10 times.

Be careful not to sever the drain wire.

Cut off the braided shield, ALPET shield tape, and filler.

Separate the wires so that they are in the following order: blue, white, yellow, and drain wire.

Blue wire, pin 1 (cover label: DA B) White wire, pin 2 (cover label: DB W) Yellow wire, pin 3 (cover label: DG Y) Drain wire, pin 5 (cover label: SL D)

Insert the cable all the way into the power clamp.

Check to confirm that the wire has been inserted all the way by looking through the top of the cover.

Use pliers to push the cover into the body and crimp the cable.

Check to confirm that the cover is level with the body and that there is no space between the body and the cover.

* We recommend using heat-shrinking tubing to protect the drain wire and other wiring.

4-2 Wiring the CC-Link Network

To connect the Communications Unit to the CC-Link network, refer to documentation for the CC-Link master unit and the CC-Link Installation Guide.

• Always turn OFF the power supply before performing any wiring operations on the Communications Unit. The external devices that are connected to the E3NW-CCL may operate in an unexpected manner if the E3NW-CCL is wired while the power supply is ON.

• Be careful not to pinch your fingers when attaching connectors.

• Incorrect wiring will reduce safety functions. Perform all wiring correctly and confirm operation before using the Communications Unit.

 Special Screwdrivers

We recommend using the following Special Screwdrivers to tighten wiring screws when wiring the power supply or connecting the enclosed DS-bus connector cables.
