6. LOADING AND INSTALLATION
MELSEC-A
POINTI
.(1) Ground the surge absorber (El) an the PC (E2) separately from each
other.
(2) Select a
surge absorber making allowance for power voltage rises.
(2) Wiring of I/O
equipment
(a) Applicable size of wire to the terminal block connector is 0.3 (18) to
2 mm
2
(14 AWG). However, it is recommended to use wires of 0.75
mm
2
(18 AWG) for convenience.
(b) Separate
the input and output lines.
(c) I/O signal wires
must be at least 100 mm (3.94 in) away from
high-voltage
and large-current main circuit wires.
(d) When
the I/O signal wires cannot be separated from the main circuit
wires
and power wires, ground on the PC side with batch-shielded
cables. Under some conditions it may be preferable to ground on
the other side.

(e) If wiring has been done with piping, ground the piping.
(f) Separate the 24 VDC I/O cables from the 100 VAC and 200 VAC
cables.
(g) If wiring over 200 m (656.2 tt) or
longer distance, trouble can be
caused by leakage
currents due to line capacity referring to the I/O
error examples in the A2C I/O module User's Manual.
