USER’S GUIDE
JY992D50401L
This manual contains text, diagrams and explanations which will guide the reader in the correct installation
and operation of the FX TERMINAL BLOCKS. It should be read and understood before attempting to
install or use the unit. Further information can be found in the FX series PLC hardware manuals.
If in doubt at any stage during the installation of the FX TERMINAL BLOCKS always consult a profes-
sional electrical engineer who is qualified and trained to the local and national standards.
All terminal blocks described in this manual conform to the UL/cUL Standard.
Note’s on the symbology used in this manual
At various times through out this manual certain symbols will be used to highlight points of infor-
mation which are intended to ensure the users personal safety and protect the integrity of the
equipment. Whenever any of the following symbols are encountered, its associated note must be
read and understood. Each of the symbols used will now be listed with a brief description of its
meaning.
Hardware warnings
1) Indicates that the identified danger WILL cause physical and property damage.
2) Indicates that the identified danger could POSSIBLY cause physical and property damage.
1. INTRODUCTION
Terminal blocks convert I/O terminals of connector type PLC into terminal blocks. Some terminal blocks
directly extend inputs and outputs of PLC. Other terminal blocks are equipped with diversified built-in
devices, and function only as inputs or only as outputs.

5. TERMINAL WIRING
Never perform external wiring to unused terminals
. Such wiring may damage the unit.
Note
✩
Do not lay I/O cables next to power cables or allow them to share the
same trunking duct.
✩
Where I/O signals are used over an extended distance consideration
must be made for voltage drop and noise interference.
✩
Use crimp-style terminals of the dimensions shown in the figure below.
✩
Tighten terminals at a torque of 0.5 to 0.8 N·m (4.4 to 7.1 lbf·in). Do not
tighten the terminal block mounting screws with a torque outside the
above-mentioned range. Failure to do so may cause equipment failures or malfunctions.
