5-3-2 Wiring Power Supply and Ground Lines
• Wire a separate circuit for the power supply circuit so that there is no voltage drop from the inrush
current or startup current that flows when other equipment is turned ON.
• When several CP1E PLCs are being used, it is recommended to wire the PLCs on separate cir-
cuits to prevent a voltage drop from the inrush current or incorrect operation of the circuit breaker.
z DC Power Supply Wiring
• Use crimp terminals or solid wire for power supply wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires
directly to terminals.
• M3 self-rising terminal screws are used. Tighten the terminal block screws to the torque of 0.5
N·m.
• Use a power supply within the allowable voltage fluctuation range (20.4 to 26.4 VDC).
• The maximum power consumption is 34 W for CPU Units with 30 or 40 I/O points, 13 W for CPU
Units with 20 I/O points.
• There will be a inrush current of about five times that level when the power is turned ON.
z Grounding
• Always ground the ground terminal to 100Ω or less to protect against electric shock and incorrect
operation from electrical noise.
• The GR terminal is a ground terminal. To prevent electrical shock, use a dedicated ground line
(2mm
2
min.) of 100Ω or less.
• Do not connect ground lines to other devices or to the frame of a building. Doing so will reverse
the effectiveness of the ground and instead have a bad influence.
Precautions for Safe Use
• Be sure not to reverse the positive and negative leads when wiring the power supply termi-
nals.
• Supply power to all of the Power Supply Units from the same source.
• Use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies connected to DC
Power Supply Units to comply with EC(Low Voltage Directive) Directives.
