2. Installation
If the current capacity consumed on the network exceeds the restriction of cable current
capacity, it is possible to install more than one power supply on the network. If you attempt
to install two or more power supplies on the network, take necessary measures (pulling out a
fuse on the power supply tap, etc.) to avoid conflicts between power outputs from multiple
power supplies.

CAUTION
Carefully connect the wires. Incorrect wiring may cause node malfunction and
severe damage to the entire DeviceNet network.
Procedure for Modifying and Installing Communication Cables
Follow the steps described below to modify communication cables and connect them to
connectors.
CAUTION
Be careful not to injure your hands or fingers on any sharp blades or tools used
to modify the cable.
Use appropriate blades and/or other tools to modify the cable. Using
inappropriate blades and/or other tools may result in bodily injury and/or
equipment damage.
(1) Strip approx. 30 mm of the cable covering with extra
care so that you do not scratch on the braided shield
underneath. Do not strip the cable covering more than
necessary. Excess stripping may cause short-circuit
and/or make the cable more sensitive to noise.
