Solid wire

Stranded (flexi­ble) wire

0.2 to 2.5 mm

0.34 to 1.5 mm
Stranded wires should be prepared by attaching insulated bar
terminals (DIN 46228-4 standard compatible) to the ends before
connecting them.

• Disconnect the NE1A-series Controller from the power supply before
starting wiring. Devices connected to the NE1A-series Controller may
operate unexpectedly.

• Properly apply the specified voltage to the NE1A-series Controller inputs.
Applying an inappropriate DC voltage or any AC voltage will cause the
NE1A-series Control-ler to fail.

• Be sure to separate the communications cables and I/O cables from near
high-voltage/high-current lines.

• Be cautious not to get your fingers caught when attaching connectors to
the plugs on the NE1A-series Controller.

• Tighten the DeviceNet connector screws correctly (0.25 to 0.3 N·m).

• Incorrect wiring may lead to loss of safety functions. Wire conductors cor­rectly and verify the operation of the NE1A-series Controller before using
the system in which the NE1A-series Controller is incorporated.

• After wiring is completed, be sure to remove label for wire clipping preven­tion on the NE1A-series Controller to enable heat to escape or proper
cooling.

from a NE1A-SCPU01 to a NE1A-SCPU01-V1 or NE1A-SCPU02 in a system
that uses a NE1A-SCPU01, the previous configuration data can be used by
converting it from configura-tion data for the NE1A-SCPU01 to configuration
data for the NE1A-SCPU01-V1 or NE1A-SCPU02.

Use the following procedure to create configuration data for the NE1A­SCPU01-V1 or NE1A-SCPU02 from configuration data for the NE1A­SCPU01.

1. Reading Configuration Data

Use the following procedure to read the configuration data with the Network
Configu-rator (version 1.6).

• Read the saved configuration data.

• Use network uploading to read configuration data from devices on the
network.

The following screen will be displayed when reading has been completed.
