    Setup and wiring 4.1. EMC/safety/shielding The TB20 IO system complies with EU Directive 2004/108/EC (“Electromagnetic Compatibility”). One effective way to protect against disturbances caused by electromagnetic interference is to shield electric cables, wires, and components. When setting up the system and laying the necessary cables, make sure to fully comply with all standards, regulations, and rules regarding shielding (please also consult the relevant guidelines and documents published by the PROFIBUS User Organization).
  • Page 31: Front Connectors

    It is also possible, for example, to connect two 0.75 mm² wires to a single spring-type terminal, provided the maximum cross-sectional cable area of 1.5 mm² per terminal is not exceeded. The cables can be attached to the underside of the front connector with a cable tie. TB20 EtherNet/IP Coupler | Version 3 | 10.03.2020...
