Connecting the TC-net I/O Loop Transmission Cable
Connect the TC-net I/O loop transmission cable. Figure 2-6 shows the order of
connection of the cables.
The connection state between the modules may not be displayed in the V-TOOL if the
cables are not connected correctly.
Use a Category 5 communication cable with shield as a transmission cable connected to
the TC-net I/O loop for electric power.
To deal with static electricity, cover the shield metal part of the cable side connector with
contraction tube.
Cable name: HCM901E (1m), HCM903E (3m), HCM905E (5m), HCM907E (7m),
For optical power, use optical fiber (duplex LC connecter, core diameter/clad diameter
50/125, 62.5/125).
Recommended cable: Shielded category 5 communication cable (with contraction tube,
manufactured by Hirakawa Hewtech Corp.)
Cable name: HCM901P (1m), HCM903P (3m), HCM905P (5m), HCM907P (7m),
Bending angle of loop transmission cable is specified as 10 times as wide as the cable
diameter.
The cable diameter is 6mm, bent radius is 60mm.
The shield ground direction of the loop transmission cable is not particularly specified.
Adjust the direction systematically so that it will be set to one direction/to a constant
direction.
