Another factor to consider is the I/O wiring (see 2-6 I/O Wiring). If the CPUand/or Expansion I/O Units are mounted vertically, a minimum of 70 mmopen space is required for ease of I/O wiring. The spacing of the mountingholes, for both vertical and horizontal mounting is as shown below.

Attach End Plates (PFP-M) to both ends (as shown below) when connectingCPUs, Expansion I/O Units, or Analog Timer Units to a DIN Rail. It is alsorecommended that a Spacer (PFP-S) be installed between a CPU and Ex-pansion I/O Unit when they are mounted horizontally.

2-4I/O Connecting Cable
Applicable connecting cable will vary according to which Units are connectedand whether they are mounted horizontally or vertically. All Expansion I/OUnits except the C16P and C4K use C20P-CN501 cable (5 cm) for horizontalmounting and C20P-CN411 cable (40 cm) for vertical mounting. The C16Pand C4K cannot be mounted vertically. The C16P can use either of theabove-mentioned cables for horizontal mounting. The C4K can use onlyC4K-CN502 cable (5 cm). For connecting I/O Link Units, use C20P-CN711cable (70 cm).
CautionAlways be sure to use only the cable that is included with the Unit. Using the
wrong cable (such as the C20 I/O Connecting Cable or I/O Link ConnectingCable) for connecting Expansion I/O Units can cause serious damage to theUnits.

One Analog Timer Unit can be connected directly to a CPU or to any combi-nation of a CPU and Expansion I/O Units. In either case, as shown in the fol-lowing diagram, the Units must be mounted horizontally.

Connecting I/O Link Units
Section 2-4
One I/O Link Unit can be connected directly to a CPU or to any combinationof a CPU and Expansion I/O Units. It cannot be used in the same PC Systemwith an Analog Timer Unit.
Follow these four steps to connect Expansion I/O Unit, Analog Timer, and I/OLink Unit Connecting Cables.
Remove the connector cover from the CPU, using a screwdriver if nec-essary.
Insert one of the cable’s connectors into the cover. (Once inserted, theconnector cannot be removed.)
Reinsert the cover/connector combination into the CPU.Repeat this procedure on the other end of the cable.

Optical Fiber Cable
Optical fiber cable can be used for extending transmission distance and re-ducing noise. There are three types, and the appropriate cable for any givensituation will depend on the desired transmission distance and the particularUnits which need to be connected.
All-plastic optical fiber cable (APF) is for short-distance transmission (up to20 m) and can be used only by Units with the suffix “-P” attached. Plas-tic-clad optical fiber cable (PCF) is for middle-distance transmission (up to200 m for Units with “-P” and 800 m for Units without “-P”). Crystal opticalfiber cable (AGF) is for long-distance transmission (up to 3 km) and can beconnected only to certain Link Adapters.
Although laying optical fiber cable does not basically differ from laying wirecable, there are certain precautions which should be observed. For details,refer to the Optical Remote I/O Systems Manual.
Link Adapters
Although it is normally possible to connect Units in series, a failure (powerfailure, disconnection, etc.) in one of the Units will cause all the subsequentUnits to cease operating. You can use Link Adapters to prevent this type ofsituation from occurring. Even if a power failure occurs in a Unit connected toa branch line of a Link Adapter, the Link Adapter will bypass that Unit andcontinue to transmit signals to the other Units. You can also use Link Adapt-ers for branching and for converting between various types of wire and opti-cal cable. For details on these and other functions of Link Adapters, refer tothe Link Adapter Manual.

power supply (depending on your model) for the CPU. When an ExpansionI/O Unit(s) or an I/O Link Unit is used, the power supply must also be con-nected to each of these Units. Where possible, use independent powersources for the inputs, the output loads, and the CPU. All of the CPUs andExpansion I/O Units may be connected to the same power source. If a CPUand an Expansion I/O Unit are connected to separate power supplies, thenthe CPU (as well as the Programming Console, etc.) will not operate unlesspower is turned on to the Expansion I/O Unit.
The following diagram illustrates the proper wiring for CPUs and ExpansionI/O Units with the suffix “-A.” These models use a power supply of 100 to 240VAC, with an operating voltage range of 85 to 264 VAC. The internalnoise-reduction system in these Units is sufficient for general power linenoise, but ground noise can be greatly reduced by using a 1:1 insulating
transformer. Ground only the primary side of the transformer. To prevent volt-age drop, use wires 2 mm2 or less in cross sectional area, twisting them asshown in the diagram. When power is turned on, the incoming current will beapproximately 10 A.
