In the event that the above recommendations (because of measurement techniques
or safety regulations) cannot be complied with, be sure to use these methods:
• Signal isolation for analog input signals
• Digital inputs and outputs are divided into groups at the MTUs and I/O
modules, with supply voltage distribution and grounding common for each
single groups.
Local grounding of a signal at the transducer location may be a requirement for
individual voltage supply to each transducer. This normally hinders the use of
MTUs for voltage distribution. A ground bar with the terminal block and fuse
equipment required by the application can be used in such cases.
If the transmitter/transducer has galvanic isolation of the supply, its signal zero can
be grounded where most suitable for measurement accuracy.

When planning for the cable routing in the plant and when selecting suitable cables
to be used, the following should be considered:
• Routing of communication cables with regard to a.c. power wiring.
• Mixing of signals and signal types within cables.
• Need of shielded or un-shielded cables.
Cable entry into cabinets is generally from the bottom. Alternative cable entrances
can be accommodated if required. Refer to $ % % ,QVWDOODWLRQ5 XOHV for details.
