Note: 1. The
transmission distance values stated in this table are possible if the Input or Output Link T
erminal is connected to an independent
power
supply
. If a single power supply is connected to the Input or Output Link T
erminal, the supply voltage must be 24 VDC
±10%,
in which case the transmission distance of a normal-speed model is 100 m maximum and that of a high-speed model is 50 m maxi

2. A
shielded transmission cable or a VCTF cable with a thickness of
0.75 mm

minimum must be used for signal transmission. If the
VCTF
cable is used, however
, the transmission distance will be 10 m maximum regardless of whether or not independent power
supplies
for the Input and the Output Link T
erminals are used.
3.
The minimum input time is required for the B7A/B7AS to read an input signal.
4.
For high-speed models, these values are possible without grounding the shielded line.
