Note:
1. The transmission distance values stated in this table are possible if the Input or Output Link Terminal is connected to an independent
power supply. If a single power supply is connected to the Input or Output Link Terminal, the supply voltage must be 24 VDC
±
10%,
in which case the transmission distance of a normal-speed model is 100 m maximum and that of a high-speed model is 50 m maxi-
mum. Refer to
Power Supply on page 21 for details.
2. A shielded transmission cable or a VCTF cable with a thickness of 0.75 mm
2
minimum must be used for signal transmission. If the
VCTF cable is used, however, the transmission distance will be 10 m maximum regardless of whether or not independent power
supplies for the Input and the Output Link Terminals are used.
3. The minimum input time is required for the B7A/B7AS to read an input signal.
4. For high-speed models, these values are possible without grounding the shielded line.

Note:
1. All B terminals of the B7A-T6A
j
are negative terminals; power must be supplied to the three-wire sensor via the positive power
supply terminal or from an independent power supply.
Two-wire sensors must satisfy the following requirements:
Residual voltage:
4 V max.
Current leakage:
1.5 mA max.
The lower limit of control output:
3 mA (Use a breeder resister to eliminate this restriction.)
