Hardware Installation; System And Field Power Wiring - Moxa Technologies ioThinx 4530 Series Hardware User Manual

In this chapter, we describe how to install ioThinx 4530 Series products.

System and Field Power Wiring

Unit: mm (in.)
CAUTION
Be sure to note the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If currents exceed the
maximum rating, the wires will overheat, which could cause serious damage to your equipment. For safety
reasons, we recommend using 2-mm diameter wire to connect to the power supply (e.g., 12 AWG).
NOTE
Powering the unit requires connecting both the system and field power to the power supply. If only one of
the power sources is connected, the device may not work properly.
NOTE
We recommended using different power supplies to ensure that the system power and field power are
isolated from each other. If using the same power supply for system power and field power, 3 KV or above
isolation between them is recommended.
