Power Supply Wiring
Connect a 24 V DC ±10% power supply to the power terminals (marked + and -) using copper wire sized according to local electrical codes.
Recommended wire gauge: 16 AWG (1.5 mm²) minimum for runs up to 10 meters.
Use an external 3 A fast-blow fuse or circuit breaker on the positive line to protect against overload.
Warning: Never connect AC voltage to the DC power terminals; this will cause irreversible damage.
Grounding
Connect the chassis ground terminal to a reliable earth ground to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure operator safety.
Use a low-resistance grounding conductor, preferably copper wire sized per local regulations (typically 14 AWG or larger).
Avoid using the neutral line as a ground.
Digital and Analog I/O Wiring
Digital inputs/outputs operate at 24 V DC logic level. Ensure sensors and actuators are compatible with this voltage.
Analog inputs accept 0–10 V or 4–20 mA signals (configurable via the FactoryCore Config Tool).
Shielded twisted-pair cable is recommended for analog signals to reduce noise.
Tip: Label all input/output wiring clearly at both ends for easy troubleshooting.
Communication Ports
Ethernet port supports 10/100 Mbps connections; use shielded CAT5e or better cable.
USB ports for device configuration or firmware updates should use standard USB 2.0 cables.
RS485 port uses a 2-wire differential bus; maintain proper termination resistors at bus ends.
Cable Management and Strain Relief
Use cable ties or cable ducts to bundle wires neatly and prevent strain on connectors.
Leave service loops near connectors to facilitate maintenance and replacement.
Avoid running signal cables parallel and close to high-power lines to minimize interference.
