3.6 Connecting I/Os
Connection cables for the I/Os of the D4x5-2, CX32-2 and TB30
The following conditions apply to connection cables:
● Use flexible cables with a cable cross-section
– of minimum 0.25 mm
2
and maximum 1.5 mm
2
(D4x5-2, CX32-2)
– of minimum 0.25 mm
2
and maximum 0.5 mm
2
(TB30)
● Ferrules are not mandatory.
● You can use ferrules without an insulating collar in accordance with DIN 46228, Form A
long version.
Note
To achieve optimum interference immunity, shielded cables must be used for connecting
analog signals, measuring inputs or external zero marks.
Tools required
Screwdriver with 2 mm blade width.
Wiring inputs/outputs
1. Strip off 8 mm of cable insulation and, if necessary, press on a ferrule.
2. Wire the digital inputs and outputs for connection of the sensors and actuators.
3. Insert the cable into the appropriate spring-loaded terminal. This is easier when you use
the screwdriver to push back the spring.
