SA/FC Bus and Supply Power
Wiring Guidelines
provides information about the functions, ratings,
and requirements for the communication bus and supply
power terminals; and guidelines for wire sizes, cable
types, and cable lengths when wiring the controller's
communication buses and supply power.
In addition to the guidelines in
, observe these
guidelines when wiring 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
the SA and FC buses.
