Planning the Wiring Routes
The following guidelines provide general information on how to wire the I/O connections to
DL06 Micro PLCs. Refer to the corresponding specification sheet which appears later in this
chapter for specific information on wiring a particular PLC .
1.
Each terminal connection of the DL06 PLC can accept one 16 AWG wire or two 18
AWG size wires. Do not exceed this recommended capacity.
2. Always use a continuous length of wire. Do not splice wires to attain a needed length.
3. Use the shortest possible wire length.
4. Use wire trays for routing where possible.
5. Avoid running wires near high energy wiring.
6. Avoid running input wiring close to output wiring where possible.
7. To minimize voltage drops when wires must run a long distance, consider using multiple
wires for the return line.
8. Avoid running DC wiring in close proximity to AC wiring where possible.
9. Avoid creating sharp bends in the wires.
10. Install the recommended power line filter to reduce power surges and EMI/RFI noise.
