External Wiring; Wiring Routes - Omron CJ2 CPU UNIT User Manual

• Wire the lines so that common impedance does not occur. Such wiring will increase the number of
wires, so use common return circuits. Use thick wires with sufficient allowance for the return circuits,
and bundle them with lines of the same signal level.
• For long I/O lines, wire the input and output signal lines separately.
• Use twisted-pair wires for pilot lamps (and particularly lamps with filaments).
• Use countermeasures, such as CR surge absorbers and diodes, for input device and output load
device noise sources, as required.

External Wiring

Wiring, and noise countermeasures in particular, are based on experience, and it is necessary to
closely manage wiring based on experience and information in the manuals.

Wiring Routes

Each of the following combinations include different signal types, properties, or levels. They will
cause the signal-to-noise ratio to drop due to factors such as electrical induction. As a general rule
when wiring, either use separate cables or separate wiring routes for these items. Future mainte-
nance operations and changes to the system will also be made easier by carefully organizing the
wiring from the start.
• Power lines and signal lines
• Input signals and output signals
• Analog signals and digital signals
• High-level signals and low-level signals
• Communications lines and power lines
• DC signals and AC signals
• High-frequency devices (such as Inverters) and signal lines (communications)
