Be sure to read and follow these important points below:
•
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE
Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring
through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires
with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•
You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb
is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
•
You should separate input wiring from output wiring.
•
We advise that you label the wiring to all devices in your system.
Grounding the Moxa EDS Series
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from
the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
Suggested Wire Type for Wiring Relay Contact
(RELAY), Digital Input (DI), and Power Inputs
(P1/P2)
The EDS device includes two 4-pins 3.5 mm pin-pitch terminal blocks.
When wiring the relay contact (RELAY), digital input (DI), and power
inputs (P1/P2), we suggest using the cable type – AWG 18-24 and the
corresponding pin type cable terminals.
NOTE
The wire must be able to withstand at least 105°C and the
torque value should be 4.5 lb-in (0.51 N-m).
