Terminal Wiring Guidelines,
Functions, Ratings, and
Requirements
Input and Output Wiring Guidelines
provides information and guidelines about the
functions, ratings, and requirements for the controller
input and output terminals; and references guidelines for
determining proper wire sizes and cable lengths.
In addition to the wiring guidelines in
, observe
these guidelines when wiring controller inputs and
outputs:
•
Run
all
low-voltage wiring and cables separate from
high-voltage wiring.
•
All input and output cables, regardless of wire size or
number of wires, should consist of stranded, insulated,
and twisted copper wires.
•
Shielded cable is not required for input or output
cables.
•
Shielded cable is recommended for input and output
cables that are exposed to high electromagnetic or
radio frequency noise.
•
Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft)
typically do not require an offset in the software setup.
Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require an offset
in the input/output software setup.

is isolated from all other commons, except the
Configurable Output (CO) common (OCOM

) when
the CO is defined as an Analog Output.
