Guidelines For Ac Installation; 120 Vac/230 Vac Using A Single Overcurrent Switch To Protect The Cpu And Load Wiring - Siemens SIMATIC S7-200 System Manual

Guidelines for AC Installation

The following items are general wiring guidelines for AC installations. Refer to
Figure 2-11.
[a] Provide a single disconnect switch that removes power from the CPU, all
input circuits, and all output (load) circuits.
[b] Provide overcurrent devices to protect the CPU power supply, the output
points, and the input points. You can also fuse each output point individually
for greater protection.
[c] External overcurrent protection for input points is not required when you
use the 24 VDC sensor supply from the Micro PLC. This sensor supply is
short-circuit protected.
[d] Connect all S7-200 ground terminals to the closest available earth ground
to provide the highest level of noise immunity. It is recommended that all
ground terminals be connected to a single electrical point. Use 14 AWG or 1.5
2
mm wire for this connection.
[e] DC sensor supply from the CPU may be used for CPU inputs,
[f] expansion DC inputs, and [g] expansion relay coils. This sensor supply is
short-circuit protected.
[h] In most installations, you will have the best noise immunity if you connect
the sensor supply M terminal to ground.
