Power Supply Wiring Section 4-4
Round Cable II,
Flat Cable I, or
Flat Cable II
The communications power to Slave Units is supplied through a Round Cable
II, Flat Cable I or Flat Cable II cable. Therefore there is no need to provide a
communications power supply for Slave Units separately. The communica-
tions power supply can be shared by all Slave Units within the same trunk line
or sub-trunk line. The I/O power must be supplied separately to the Slave
Units which need I/O power, i.e., Slave Units with a multi-power supply.
