Cabinets supplied with 120/220V a.c. always must be connected tp protective earth
(PE) grounding. The equipment PE-conductor should be of 35 mm

For minimum interference and maximum accuracy, it is normally most effective to
ground the signals from transmitters or transducers directly at a grounding point
within the cabinet. It is also advantageous to ground supply voltages for transducers,
sensing voltage for contacts, load supply voltage and so on at the same location.
All modules have galvanic isolation from the chassis; this means that group-wise
isolated modules can be grounded in different equipment as for long as all channels
have a common ground reference at the same location.
