Chapter 13 - Digital Input/Output Module (DIO)
148 Adept MV Controller User’s Guide, Rev C
13.6 Optional DIO Cables
The cables to connect to the Input and Output connectors on the DIO module can be
ordered as a set of four cables: two input cables and two output cables. These cables have
a mating plug on one end and unterminated flying leads on the other end. The wire size of
the Adept cables is 0.18 mm
2
(24AWG). You can use these cables to connect to the digital
inputs/outputs in your system or to a wiring block.
To comply with IEC 1131, if you choose to supply a wiring block, it should be capable of
accepting wire in the range of 0.18 mm
2
(24 AWG) to 2.0 mm
2
(14 AWG).
Labeling Cables
The P1 and P2 input connectors on the front of the module are similar except that P1
handles the Group 1 and 2 input signals and P2 handles the Group 3 and 4 input signals.
The optional digital input cables can be connected to either P1 or P2. Make sure to clearly
label the cables once you have completed your installation so that the cables do not get
swapped by mistake; see the Warning below.
The P3 and P4 output connectors are also similar except that P3 handles the Group 1 and 2
output signals and P4 handles the Group 3 and 4 output signals. The optional digital
output cables can be connected to either P3 or P4. Make sure to clearly label the cables
once you have completed your installation so that the cables do not get swapped by
mistake; see the Warning below.
WARNING:
Make sure to clearly label the P1 to P4 digital I/O cables so
that they are always plugged into the correct connector. Swapping the P1
and P2 or P3 and P4 cables could cause damage to your equipment.
Depending on the installation, this could potentially cause injury to
personnel in the area. Also, if you have more than one DIO module, make
sure each set of cables is clearly labeled so they don’t get plugged into the
wrong module by mistake.
