Connecting the communications cable
Connect the communications cable to the DeviceNet interface
connector according to the following procedure.
(1) Strip about 30 mm of the cable sheath and remove unwanted
sheath.
(2) Peel off the aluminum tape covers the signal leads and the power
leads, and strip the sheath of the signal leads and power leads
matched to the length of the crimped terminals.
(3) Twist the stripped signal leads and power leads and attach the
crimped terminals.
We recommend the following crimped terminal:
• Phoenix Contacts Inc. AI series (special tool ZA3)
(4) Loosen the cable fastening screws on the connector so that the
line materials can be easily inserted.
(5) Insert each of the signal leads into the holes on the connector
terminal plate so that the sheath colors of the shielded lead,
signal leads and power leads match the colors indicated on the
connector.
(6) Tighten the power leads in place with the cable fastening screws
on the connector.
Two thin cables can be connected to this connector in a multi-drop
configuration. In this case, insert two leads into a single hole on the
terminal plate. Thick cable cannot be used in a multi-drop
configuration. In a multi-drop configuration, use T-branch taps.
