Festo FB13 - Cable Selection - Field Bus Cable; Cable Selection - Operating Voltages

Cable selection – field bus cable
The field bus cable is a shielded twisted-pair
wire. Please consult the PLC manual for the
controller for the type of cable to be used. The
distance and the field bus baud rate must also
be taken into account.
Cable selection – operating voltages
Several parameters must be taken into account
when the two operating voltages are connected.
Further information is to be found in the following
chapters:
• Chapter 3, Installation
Section: "Connecting the operating voltages"
