Communications bus and supply power
wiring guidelines
The
Communications bus and power supply terminal
block rating and requirements table
provides information
about the functions, ratings, and requirements for the
communication bus and supply power terminals. The
table also provides guidelines for wire sizes, cable types,
and cable lengths for when you wire the controller's
communication buses and supply power.
In addition, observe these guidelines when you wire an SA
or FC bus and the 24 VAC supply power:
• Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
• All SA and FC bus cables, regardless of wire size, should
be twisted, insulated, stranded copper wire.
• Shielded cable is strongly recommended for all SA and
FC bus cables.
• Refer to the
MS/TP Communications Bus Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12011034)
for detailed information
regarding wire size and cable length requirements for
SA and FC buses.
