Field Wiring

The FP-TB-10 has four screw-terminal connections for each of the
six dual-channel modules. These four connections are labeled 1a
and 1b for channel 1, and 2a and 2b for channel 2. The signal
connections for each of the different I/O modules are listed in these
instructions and are also printed on the sides of each of the I/O
modules. In addition to these terminals are six pairs of terminals
labeled V and C. These V and C terminals are not directly
connected to the dual-channel modules, but all of the V terminals
are connected together and all of the C terminals are connected
together. You can use these terminals to connect external power
supplies to the dual-channel modules or to send power to field
devices, but you do not need to connect anything to the V and
C terminals in order to use the dual-channel modules.
