Installation and Environmental Considerations

• Install on standard 35 mm DIN rail in a clean, dry environment
• Ensure proper ventilation and avoid locations with excessive heat, moisture, or vibration
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable for field wiring to minimize electromagnetic interference
• Maintain separation between signal wiring and high-voltage power lines
• Connect field power supply with correct polarity to prevent damage to input circuits
• Ground the shield at one point only to prevent ground loops
• Verify bus termination at the last module in the network using a proper terminator such as IC660BBA105K
• Follow GE Fanuc wiring and grounding guidelines to ensure system reliability and safety
