Connect the system power wires to the +24V dc terminal (21) and the 0V dc terminal (20). 3.5 Optical Fiber Installation Use only the Banner fiber optic cable listed in Section 2, or call Banner factory applications department to determine fiber suitability. For best operation, minimize the fiber lengths, number of splices, number of tight bends and operating Figure 3-3.
NOTE: For external stop devices with solid-state outputs, the Controller configuration is done at the two banks of DIP outputs must be Banner Engineering safety devices switches located under the clear access cover on the right side with “handshake” verification. Connect the compatible of the controller (see Figure 3-6).
