4. Installation & Operation Guidelines

1. Standard Wiring Operation Steps

   Step1: Cut off all power supply of DCS rack modules before plugging/unplugging the cable to prevent short-circuit and permanent burnout of I/O boards

   Step2: Align 37-pin D-Sub pins with FBM baseplate or terminal assembly port, fully insert and tighten bilateral locking screws to avoid loose contact under long-term vibration

   Step3: Separate P0916FP signal cable from high-current power cables, maintain ≥15cm isolation distance inside cabinets to reduce signal crosstalk

   Step4: Fix cable with soft plastic cable ties, avoid excessive tension pulling connectors; reserve enough slack for cabinet door opening and closing

   Step5: Complete all wiring, restore power supply and execute system self-test to verify communication stability and analog signal precision
