2 Connecting to CC-Link
Connecting to the Field Network
To connect to the master device or network controller on the field network using a
multidrop connection, or to connect other slave devices, connect a communication cable
that supports each field network to the field network connector.
Preparing the communication cable
Use a communication cable dedicated for CC-Link (Ver. 1.10 or higher).
1
Remove the sheath (outer insulation) from the cable.
Carefully remove about 50 mm from the end of the dedicated cable so as not to
damage the braided shield wires.
2
Prepare the shield.
Carefully unravel the braided shield wires. Inside the shield is a single exposed
drain wire (twisted or loose). Twist this with the unraveled shield wire and cover it
with an insulation tube.
3
Strip the insulation from the signal lines.
Being careful not to damage the signal lines, remove the aluminum polyester
laminated tape and filling, and strip about 8 mm from each signal line.
Twist the exposed conductor strands to keep them together.
