NX-series NX1P2 CPU Unit Hardware User’s Manual (W578)
This section explains the wiring of an NX1W-CIF01 Serial Communications Option Board.
We recommend the following wiring method for the RS-232C, especially in environments prone to
noise.
1 Use shielded twisted-pair cables for the communications cables.
• Recommended RS-232C Cables
2 Combine a signal wire and SG (signal ground) wire in a twisted-pair cable.
At the same time, bundle the SG wires at the connectors on Option Board and the remote
device.
3 Connect the SHLD of the communications cable to the SHLD on the Option Board.
5-4-10 Wiring the NX1W-CIF01 Serial Communications Option Board
When you connect a computer or other peripheral device to a Controller that has a non-isolated
DC power supply, either ground the 0-V side of the external power supply or do not ground it at
all.
If the peripheral devices are grounded incorrectly, the external power supply may be short-cir-
cuited. Never ground the 24-V side of the power supply, as shown in the following figure.
