Analog Output Signal Common
: All Configurable
Outputs defined as Analog Outputs share a
common, which is isolated from all other commons
except the Binary Input common.
CONFIGURABLE

Cable and wire length guidelines
Table 6 defines cable length guidelines for the various wire sizes that may be used for wiring low-voltage (<30 V) input
and outputs. The required wire sizes and lengths for high-voltage (>30 V) Relay Outputs are determined by the load
connected to the relay, and local, national or regional electrical codes.

1.0 mm (18 AWG) stranded copper
457 m (1,500 ft) twisted wire
0.8 mm (20 AWG) stranded copper
297 m (975 ft) twisted wire
297 m (975 ft) twisted wire
0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded copper

0.5mm (24 AWG) stranded copper
107 m (350 ft) twisted wire
107 m (350 ft) twisted wire
100 mV maximum voltage drop
Depending on the cable length
and the connected input or
output device, you may have
to define an offset in the setup
software for the input or output
point.
