Wiring Principles
Connecting the Power Cord
Follow these instructions when supplying power to the panel:
When the functional ground (FG) terminal is connected, be sure the wire
is grounded. Not grounding the panel can result in excessive
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Grounding is required to meet EMC
level immunity.
The shield ground (SG) and FG terminals are connected internally in the
panel.
Disconnect the power before wiring the panel’s power terminals.
The panel uses only 24 Vdc power. Using any other level of power can
damage both the power supply and the panel.
Since the panel is not equipped with a power switch, be sure to connect a
power switch to the panel’s power supply.
Be sure to ground the panel’s FG terminal.
Power Cord Preparation
Make sure the ground wire is either the same or heavier gauge than the
power wires.
Do not use aluminum wires in the power supply’s power cord.
If the ends of the individual wires are not twisted correctly, the wires may
create a short circuit. To avoid this, use D25CE/AZ5CE cable ends.
Wherever possible, use wires that are 0.75 to 2.5 mm2(AWG 18 - 12) for
the power cord, and twist the wire ends before attaching the terminals.
The conductor type is solid or stranded wire.

How to Connect the Power Cord
The following table explains how to connect the power plug:
NOTE:
Do not solder the wire directly to the power receptacle pin.
The power supply cord should meet the specification shown above. Be
sure to twist the power cords together, up to the power plug, for EMC
cancellation.
Connecting the Power Supply
Connect the power cord to the power connector on the side of the panel
using the power plug.
Between the line and the ground, be sure to use a regulated power supply
with a Class 2 power supply.
To increase the electromagnetic noise resistance, be sure to twist the
ends of the power cord wires before connecting them to the power plug.
The panel’s power supply cord should not be bundled with or kept close
to main circuit lines (high voltage, high current), or input/output signal
lines.
Connect a lightning surge absorber to handle power surges.
To reduce electromagnetic noise, make the power cord as short as
possible.
Step Action
1 Remove the power cord from the power supply.
2 Remove the power plug from the panel.
3 Remove 7 mm (0.28 in.) of the vinyl cover off the ends of the power cord wires.
4 If using stranded wire, twist the ends. Tinning the ends with solder reduces risk of
fraying and ensures good electrical transfer.
5 Connect the wires to the power plug by using a flat-bladed screwdriver (size
0.6 X 3.5).
6 Tighten the mounting screws using the defined torque: 0.5...0.6 nm (5...7 lb-in).
7 Replace the power plug onto the power connector.

English
Power Supply Connections
For ease of maintenance, use the following connection diagram to set up
your power supply connections.
NOTE:
Ground the surge absorber (E1) separately from the panel (E2).
Select a surge absorber that has a maximum circuit voltage greater than
that of the peak voltage of the power supply.
The following shows a lightning surge absorber connection:
WARNING
SHORT CIRCUITS, FIRE, OR UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Avoid excessive force on the power cable to prevent accidental
disconnection:
Securely attach power cables to the panel or cabinet.
Use the torque 0.8...1 Nm (7.08...8.85 in-lb) to tighten the panel’s
terminal block screws.
Install and fasten panel on installation panel or cabinet prior to
connecting Power Supply and Communication lines.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury,
or equipment damage.

Grounding
Take the following precautions for grounding the panel. Connect the
functional ground (FG) terminal on the power plug to an exclusive ground.
Grounding Procedure
Common Grounding
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can be created if the devices are
improperly grounded. EMI can cause loss of communication.
Do not use common grounding, except for the authorized configuration
described below.
Step Action
1Check that the grounding resistance is less than 0.1 Ω(1).
2The FG wire should have a cross sectional area greater than 2 mm (1). Create the
connection point as close to the panel as possible, and make the wire as short as
possible. When using a long grounding wire, replace the thin wire with a thicker
wire, and place it in a duct.
3 If the equipment does not function properly when grounded, disconnect the ground
wire from the FG terminal.
(1) Observe local codes and standards. Ensure the ground connection has a resistance of less
than 0.1 Ωand that the ground wire has a cross-section of at least 2 mm2or AWG 14.
