Preparing to Wire Signals
This section provides recommendations and information about wiring signals to the DT9850
Series module.
Wiring Recommendations
Keep the following recommendations in mind when wiring signals to a DT9850 Series
module:
• Follow standard ESD procedures when wiring signals to the module.
• Separate power and signal lines by using physically different wiring paths or conduits.
• To avoid noise, do not locate the module and cabling next to sources that produce high
electromagnetic fields, such as large electric motors, power lines, solenoids, and electric
arcs, unless the signals are enclosed in a mumetal shield.
• Prevent electrostatic discharge to the I/O while the DT9850 Series module is operational.
Wiring Signals to the DT9850 Series Module
All DT9850 Series modules provide screw terminals for easy signal connections. The following
tables list the screw terminal assignments for each DT9850 Series module:
• DT9853 module – Table 2 on page 32
• DT9853-M module – Table 3 on page 33
• DT9854 module – Table 4 on page 34
• DT9854-M module – Table 5 on page 35
