F.6 Some Suggestions on Wiring Layout
Ø
Since communication is carried through high-frequency signals, it
is advisable that the wiring layout should be paid due attention to.
Any wire should best remain as a single integral wire. Nevertheless,
if you should need another wire for extended connection, it is
suggested that you use soldering iron to connect the disparate
wires together. The parts of copper mesh should be soldered
together too.
Ø
Generally, factories will layout the power lines, control lines, signal
lines and communication lines within separate conduits. Since
communication lines and signal lines are most susceptible to
interference, you should consider avoid laying them parallel with
any power line in close distance. Nevertheless, if they should
remain parallel with the power line, just keep a proper distance
between them. Basically, an AC current up to 2A should require a
distance of 50 cm. The bigger the current or voltage, the longer the
distance is required.
Ø
For communication lines and AI/O signal lines, it is suggested that
they should be carried within Zinc-gilded tube for crush resistance.
Meanwhile, one end of the zinc-gilded tube should be connected to
factory facilities and grounded together.
Ø
While planning your wire layouts, you should consider layouts
that can save wire length.
