Can anybody shed some light on what wire gauge / mm / mm2 wire should be used for control panel wiring, 240v AC, 24v DC and signal wires?
Some articles mention 14 AWG for mains AC and 16/18 AWG for DC / signal, but then it gets confusing with mm and mm2.
Thanks again

Thanks Clive, so I'm assuming 0.5 and 0.75 are mm2. Would that equate to the top two items on this page http://www.csecables.com/acatalog/Tri-Rated-Cable.html?

OK, can someone just cast their eyes over the main wiring for my cabinet ( attached image ), a little bit of reverse engineering from other diagrams on here and adapted to fit my needs i think?
Thanks

24V seems low for the power supply to the drivers. What is the max that the drivers can take and which motors are you using? ..Clive
