Selecting the control cables

A double shielded twisted pair cable, e.g. JAMAK by NK Cables, Finland must be

used for analog signals and pulse encoder signals. Employ one individually shielded

pair for each signal. Do not use common return for different analog signals.

A double-shielded cable is the best alternative for low voltage digital signals but

single-shielded twisted multi pair cable is also usable.

Pairs should be twisted as close to terminals as possible.

Run analog and digital signals in separate, screened cables.

Relay-controlled signals, providing their voltage does not exceed 48 V, can be run in

the same cables as digital input signals. It is recommended that the relay-controlled

signals be run as twisted pairs too.

Never run 24 V

The cable connection of the control panel to the DCS880 converter must not exceed

3 meters (10 ft). The cable type tested and approved by ABB is included in the

control panel option kits.
