Wiring for a Compact I/O Carrier (IC200CHS022, IC200CHS025)
Each terminal on a Compact-style I/O Carrier accommodates one solid or
stranded AWG #14 (avg. 2.1mm
2
cross section) to AWG #22 (avg. 0.36mm
2
cross section) wire, or two wires up to AWG #18 (avg. 0.86mm
2
cross section).
Use copper wire rated for 90 degrees C. When inserting two wires in the same
position, the wires must be the same size and type (solid or stranded).
The I/O carrier can accommodate current levels up to 2 Amps per point or 8
Amps per each power and ground, and a voltage range of up to 264 V AC.
Voltage transients up to 300 V AC will not damage the carrier.
For a Box-Style I/O Carrier, recommended terminal torque is 0.37 to 0.45 ft-lbs.
The label provided with the module can be folded and inserted in the label
holder.
