Do I need a separate L1 (120vac) connection for each channel device, or can I use one L1 to provide 120vac power to all four devices and then wire each device to its corresponding channel?
Avoid relying on the IA4 manual as it may be inaccurate or lacking critical information. Before proceeding, verify if you have a 1734-FPD to properly isolate the 120V modules, which is essential for the neutral and 120V references. Once this is confirmed, you can use the L1 terminals or the FPD as a source for your field devices, ensuring the signals are sent back to the appropriate channel. Consider consulting other common points within the 120V supply for additional options.
Assuming your devices don't draw a large amount of current, you should be fine to use one L1 connection to power all four devices. However, for each device, you'd need to ensure the wiring to its specific channel is properly done. It's kinda like one power outlet powering multiple appliances through an extension. Always remember though to consider the total amperage your devices will be pulling, to avoid overloading your circuit.
You can actually use one L1 to provide 120vac power to all four devices, as long as the total power draw or load of these devices doesn't exceed the capacity of the L1 circuit. However, wiring each device to its corresponding channel would still be necessary for control and command purposes. Always make sure to follow safety guidelines and local electrical codes when performing such tasks. If you're not sure, it's wise to consult an expert or hire a certified electrician.
