Hook-up cable connectors

To hook-up an exclusive cable connector, use the exclusive tool, and correctly hook-up the connector by follow-

ing the procedure specied in this manual.

If a connector is not correctly hooked-up, the In addition, observe the following items:

● After checking the cable type and the purpose, select the right type of connector.

● Before hook-up a connector, be sure to check the colors of cables to be connected.

● Use the exclusive hook-up pliers (

For the hook-up procedure of each connector, refer to pages 37 to 45.

● If a connector is once hooked-up, do not reuse the connector.

The performance of such a connector may be deteriorated.

Wiring

Observe the following items to distribute cables:

● Keep cables away from the power line and the high-voltage line.

● Do not completely fold down any cables.

● Do not pull any cables with a strong force.

● Do not apply any weight to any cable.

● Do not touch a cable to any other system cables.

This is because signals of di󰀨erent systems may interfere with each other.

● Do not bend cables many times.

● Wind insulation tape on the end of each cable, if necessary.

Others

● Apply the specied torque to tighten terminal screws of each unit.

● Check the connectors for looseness.

● Do not disassemble or modify this product.

Power Supply Capacity of System

Necessity of Local Power Supply Unit

The 24V DC power supply unit that drives the system uses either the centralized power supply method (use of only one power supply unit) or the decentralized power supply method (use of additional local power supply unit) to supply power to each unit.

At rst, calculate the total current consumption value (sum total of current consumption values of all units ‘+’ sum

total of load current values of I/O devices). After that, from the obtained calculation result, cable length, and conductor resistance, calculate the voltage drop value, and determine the voltage to be supplied to each unit.

If the voltage supplied to each unit is above the rated voltage (22.8V or more for the controller, 21.6V or more for the I/O unit), you can design the system using the centralized power supply method. If the voltage supplied to a unit is out of the rated voltage range, connect a local power supply unit, and use the local power supply method.

Designing of system using local power supply method

Chapter 1

CAUTION

To use a local power supply unit, turn on the local power supply unit rst, and then turn on the main

power supply unit, or turn on these power supply units at the same time.

If the main power supply unit is turned on rst, the system may not operate properly.

In the following cases, connect a local power supply unit:

● The communication distance is too long, and voltage drop is too large.

For this reason, it is not possible to supply the rated voltage to the I/O units.

● A 2-core cable is used for connection of the I/O unit (for the D-G line only).

● The main power supply unit and the local power supply unit should be the small capacity type.

● An I/O device that generates a large noise should be used.
