(c) Wiring cable
If the optional encoder wiring cable is not used, use wiring with the following cable or equivalent.
• Cross-link polyethylene insulated, vinyl sheath cable :
AWG No.25 / 2P+AWG No.23/2C(*), (twisted-pair cable), RMCV-SB (UL2464) type
The wiring length should be within 10[m] long.
• Cross-link polyethylene insulated, vinyl sheath cable :
AWG No.25 / 2P+AWG No.16/2C(*), (twisted-pair cable), RMCV-SB (UL2464) type
(*) 2P (pairs), 2C (core) twisted-pair cable of different wire sizes. Use the enlarged sectional area of wires for power supply.
(d) Connection
It is not allowed to extend the wiring distance by connecting two or more cables of short wiring length.
CAUTION
Do not extend the wiring distance by connecting two or more encoder wiring cables.
A voltage drop by contact resistance of connector may stop the operation abruptly.
Remark : The wire size conversion between AWG and [mm] is as follows.
