SA/FC Bus and Supply Power
Wiring Guidelines
provides information about the functions, ratings,
and requirements for the field controller communication
bus and supply power terminals; and guidelines for wire
sizes, cable types, and cable lengths when wiring the
controller 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.

FC Bus: 0.6 mm (22 AWG)
stranded, 3-wire twisted, shielded
cable recommended.
SA Bus: 0.6 mm (22 AWG)
stranded, 4-wire (2 twisted-pairs),
shielded cable recommended.
Note:
On the SA Bus, the + and -
wire are one twisted pair,
and the COM and SA PWR
are the second twisted pair
of wires.

SAP WR on SA Bus:
15 VDC power lead connection
Note:
The SA PWR terminal on an IOM controller does
not supply 15 VDC. The SA bus supervisor (FAC,
FEC, or VMA) supplies 15 VDC to devices on the
SA bus requiring power.
