Cable Construction

The Schneider 110XCA28202 uses 28 individually insulated stranded wires. Its braided copper shield covers 85% of the internal conductors. Additionally, a drain wire provides a convenient ground connection point. You get excellent noise rejection for sensitive input signals.

Energy Storage Note

This cable module contains no capacitors or energy storage components. All conductors pass signals directly from the connector to the flying leads. Therefore, you can handle this cable without any discharge precautions. However, always disconnect power before connecting or disconnecting the cable. The connected I/O module may retain stored energy in its circuits.

Installation Steps

Power down the Micro PLC system completely before connecting this cable. Align the 28-pin connector with the mating I/O module header. Push the connector straight in until the latches click on both sides. Then route the cable to your field terminal enclosure or junction box. Strip and terminate each flying lead according to your wiring diagram.

Pinout Assignment

Pins 1 through 16 carry input signals from field sensors. The wire color code matches standard Schneider documentation for each pin. Verify the pinout against your specific I/O module manual.

Shielding Connection

Connect the braided shield to earth ground at only one end. The recommended grounding point is the field terminal enclosure. Do not connect the shield at the PLC end of the cable. The drain wire makes connections easy to a ground terminal block. Proper grounding eliminates ground loops while maintaining noise protection.

Cable Management

Secure the cable away from AC power lines and variable frequency drive cables. Maintain a separation distance of at least 15 cm from high-voltage wiring. Use cable trays or conduits for long runs through the control cabinet. Avoid sharp bends that may damage the internal conductors. The minimum bend radius equals 5 times the cable diameter.

Application Scope

This cable module suits Micro TSX 37 and 57 series I/O modules. Many packaging machines use the Schneider 110XCA28202 for remote I/O connections. Its 2-meter length suits most cabinet layouts without excess slack.
