Network Control Terminal Block 
The network control terminal block provides connections D0, 
D1, and Ground for connection directly to a ModBus system. 
Additional networks may be accommodated by utilizing 
communications adapters.
Typical Control Wiring Diagrams 
Each diagram illustrates a typical wiring scheme for the 
options described. The additional components shown on the 
diagrams are not included, but may be purchased from 
Eaton.

Notes
1. A minimum wire of 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) should be used 
between the 24 Vdc control power supply and the 
control terminal block.
2. See Using an Auxiliary Relay section below if it is desired 
to use a relay instead of an indicating lamp for terminals 
13, 14, 95, 96 and 98. 
3. 120 Vac may be applied to terminals 13, 14, 95, 96, 
and 98.
4. Add ferrite, Fair-Rite #0446176451 to DC Power Leads 
and Control I/O Leads (all through one ferrite) at S811+.
5. Functionality of terminals 1, 2, 3, and 4 are shown in the 
default configuration. These terminals are programmable 
for other functions. In a 3-wire control system, at least 
one terminal must be assigned to a Start command 
(RUN1) signal. 
6. Auxiliary relays: 3 amps at 120 Vac or 24 Vdc, 10 amps 
max. (resistive) switching.
