Structural Features: The cable is an internal connection cable with one end connecting to the I/O module backplane via the 96-way Type “C” connector, and the other end connecting to the FTA via the 96-way Type “R” connector. The multi-core screen drain wire at the far end connects to the green wire for screen earth bonding.
Working Principle: As a signal transmission pathway, the cable transfers digital or analog signals collected by the field termination assembly to the I/O module for processing, or conveys control signals from the module to the FTA.
Installation Requirements:
- Install according to Trusted system wiring specifications
- Ensure cable bend radius meets requirements to avoid excessive bending
- Route cable away from high-current cables and VFD cables to minimize EMI
- Connect shield drain wire to screen earth at both ends
- Verify terminal correspondence before connection
Usage Notes:
- Inspect cable appearance for damage or breakage before installation
- Check cable connection status during module replacement
- Do not disconnect cable connectors while energized
- Store spare cables in dry, anti-static environment
