Re: Wiring Fans

According to rule [R46]:
Exception: Multiple low-load, pneumatic solenoid valves or lights may be connected to a single relay module. This
would allow one relay module to drive multiple pneumatic actions or multiple lights. No other electrical load can be
connected to a relay module used in this manner.
Fans are low-load. However, most cooling fans can be wired directly to the PD board. Just remember [R42]:
D. Only one wire shall be connected to each WAGO connector on the PD Board. If multi-point distribution of
circuit power is required (e.g. to provide power to the three KOP breakout boards via one 20-amp circuit),
then all incoming wires must be appropriately spliced into the main lead, and only one lead inserted into the
WAGO connector to connect the circuit.
