1746-P3 Wiring Considerations
The information below describes special wiring considerations for the 1746-P3.
ATTENTION
!
Any voltage applied to the 1746-P3 DC NEUT terminal will be
present at the SLC logic ground and the processor DH-485 port.
To prevent unwanted potentials across the logic ground of the
controller and/or damage to the SLC chassis, the DC NEUTRAL
of the external DC power source must be either isolated from
the SLC chassis ground or connected to earth ground as shown
in the following illustration.
IMPORTANT
SLC 500 Series A chassis (1746-A4, -A7, -A10, and -A13)
manufactured
before
November 1992 have a resistor between the
logic ground and chassis ground as the drawing on the following
page illustrates. This resistor could be damaged if the wiring
recommendation described within the attention box above is not
followed. See the figure on the following page for the location of
the resistor. SLC 500 Series A chassis (1746-A4, -A7, -A10, and
-A13) with a manufacture date of November 1992 or later do not
have this resistor. SLC 500 Series B chassis have a 1M
Ω
resistor
that limits the current between logic ground and chassis ground.
