The 24V supply is looped through via the 24V connector. In the connector, pin1 is jumpered
to pin2 and pin3 is jumpered to pin4. The maximum current can be limited by the current
carrying capacity of the cable. The current carrying capacity of the cable depends on the
cabling method (e.g. in a cable duct, on a cable rack), among other things.
Select the permissible conductor cross-section in conformance with national rules (NEC, VDE,
etc.) from the following table "Interface X124". The basis for this can be the output current of
the 24VDC supply or the overcurrent device used in the 24V circuit. If the short-circuit
current of the utilized 24V power supply unit is greater than 50A, an appropriate overcurrent
device that limits the short-circuit current to this value must be used upstream of the product.
NOTE
• The 24VDC cable must be approved for temperatures of up to 75°C.
• The maximum permissible cable length is 10m.
