Table 1 provides information about the functions, ratings, and requirements for the communication bus and supply power terminals; and guidelines for wire sizes, cable types, and cable lengths when wiring the controller’s communication buses and supply power.
In addition to the guidelines in Table 1, observe the following guidelines when you wire an SA or FC bus and the 24 VAC supply power:
- Run all low-voltage wiring and cables separately from high-voltage wiring.
- All SA and FC bus cables, regardless of wire size, should be twisted, insulated, stranded copper wire.
- Shielded cable is strongly recommended for all SA and FC bus cables.
- Refer to the MS/TP Communications Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011034) for detailed information about wire size and cable length requirements for SA and FC buses.

FC or SA bus communications | FC bus: 0.6
mm (22 AWG) stranded, 3-wire twisted, shielded cable recommended.
SA bus: 0.6 mm (22 AWG) stranded, 4-wire (2 twisted-pairs), shielded cable recommended. Note: On the SA bus, the + and - wire are one twisted
pair, and the COM and SA PWR are the second twisted pair of
wires.

supply 15 VDC. The SA bus supervisor supplies 15 VDC to devices
on the SA bus requiring power.
