4-5 Terminal Blocks
The terminal block on the EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit is a removable screwless clamping terminal block
that allows you to easily connect and remove the wiring.
The Unit power supply, I/O power supply, and ground wire are connected to this screwless clamping
terminal block.
For details, refer to 7-2 Connecting the Power Supply and Ground Wires on page 7-6.
Terminal blocks come in three types depending on the number of terminals that can be used. There are
8-terminal type, 12-terminal type, and 16-terminal type. Only an 8-terminal type can be mounted to the
EtherNet/IP Coupler Unit. To prevent incorrect wire insertion, other terminal blocks cannot be mounted.
On 8-terminal type of terminal blocks, the following terminals do not have terminal holes and
release holes: A2, A4, A6, A8, B2, B4, B6, and B8.
