5.2 How to Connect Signal Cables
The following methods for connecting signal cables are available:
•
Direct connection using pressure clamp terminals
• Connector connection using signal cables via terminal boards
• Connecting an input/output module to a terminal board
• Connecting a terminal board to a field
• Connection via MIL connectors
• It is recommended to use twisted-pair batch shielded cables for analog inputs in order to
prevent induced noise. A pitch of 50 mm or less for the twisted-pair cables is more effec-
tive. Grounding is required for the shielding. Twisted-pair cables are recommended for
digital signals as well.
• Fasten the cables securely to cable clamps, etc., so that the cables do not weigh on the
terminals.
