Wire Sizes and Lengths for the Central IO Modules
This section provides recommendations on wire sizes and lengths for the Central IO modules.
Für weitere Informationen siehe Central IO Modules .
The recommendations are for guidance only. Other wire sizes and lengths may be used, depending on wiring rules and when appropriate.

1.3 mm² (16 AWG) |
As short as possible within the same panel, maximum 1.5 m (4.8 ft). |
- Digital or counter inputs.
- Supervised, voltage, current, or resistive inputs.
- 2-wire or 3-wire RTD temperature or resistive inputs.
- Confirm the voltage drop from the external load current and the wire resistance (the product of the wire size and length) to obtain the appropriate voltage arriving at the controlled field device (load), to reliably energize and maintain the control action.
