Specifications of recommended connector and case of cable K20 on
the βi SVM side
Connector: PCR-E20FS (soldering type) (Honda Tsushin)
PCR-E20FA (crimp type)
Case: PCR-V20L
Recommended cable for cable K20
A66L-0001-0284#10P (10 twisted pairs, 28AWG, with common
shield)
NOTE
1 Maximum cable length: 10m (when the above
recommended cable is used)
2 Be sure to use twisted pairs to connect the SIN
and *SIN signals and the SOUT and *SOUT
signals in pairs.
3 Except the pins indicated in the above figure, leave
pins open. Never connect unused conductors of
the cable to these pins.
4 Connect the shield of the cable to the ground plate
of the cabinet by using a cable clamp.
Regardless of whether the βi SVM is connected to
the host controller (or the preceding slave unit) or
the following slave unit, clamp the cable and
process the shield properly as soon as the cable is
drawn into the cabinet. When the host controller
and the βi SVM are placed in different cabinets,
shield processing must be performed in two places
for one cable. Even when the cable is not drawn
outside the cabinet, it must be clamped for shield
processing in at least one place.
