Wiring the bus connector
Introduction
You need to network all the nodes you integrate into a subnet of your system. Information on
how to wire the bus connector can be found in the article below.
Wiring a bus connector with screw terminals
1. Strip the bus cable.
2. Open the bus connector housing.
3. Insert the green and the red wire into the screw-terminal block.
4. Press the cable sheath into the clamp. Make sure that the shielding directly contacts the
5. Screw-tighten the wire terminals.
6. Close the bus connector housing.
Wiring a Fast Connect bus connector
1. Strip the bus cable.
2. Open the strain relief of the bus connector.
3. Insert the green and red wire into the open contacting covers.
4. Close the contacting cover.
5. Screw-tighten the strain relief clamp. Make sure that the shielding directly contacts the
