Field Wiring Guidelines
Original instructions
Overview
This section contains wiring guidelines and precautions.
Terminal Connector
To connect field devices to the I/O base, you need a field wiring terminal connector. Schneider Electric sells terminal connectors in sets of three.

Mapping Terminal Blocks
CAUTION
POTENTIAL FOR SHORT CIRCUITS AND/OR POWER-UP SPIKES
Provide external fuses on the operating voltage to protect the module. Appropriate fuse values are shown in the wiring illustration. An unprotected module may be subject to short circuits and/or power-up spikes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Protective Circuit May Be Required
When contacted switches are used on the input lines or when lines to the peripherals are very long, the outputs of inductive loads require protective circuitry with a clamping/suppressor diode. Install the protective circuit prallel to the operating coil.
