in-out” topology. Dierent topologies are not
allowed (star or ring-type, etc.).
– The serial line must be laid by personnel trained
and qualified in data communication networks.
Connecting the shield
– For the bus network, use 0.75 mm
3
3-pole shielded
cables. Using other types of cables may result in
interference or malfunctions.
– The shield of the bus cable used for serial
communication must be connected to an earth
free from interference.
– The shield must be earthed at one point only.
– The continuity of the shield must be ensured the
entire length of the bus cable.
l
WARNING
These requirements are generally valid. In
some areas characterised by the presence
of particular types of EMI coupling, a dierent
type of connection of the shield may be
required.

CAUTION
Make sure that the metal braiding of the cables
does not touch any live points.
Use dedicated wire terminals.

Do not earth communication cables P and Q.
The shielding networks of the communication cables
must be connected together and earthed. For earthing,
join the adjacent metal casing with terminals P, Q, E of the

Use a 3-conductor shielded cable and connect the
shielded layer to earth.
– The signal cable is 3-conductor, polarised. Use a
3-conductor shielded cable to avoid interference.
Put the closed end of the shielded cable on the
ground and open (insulate) the end. The shielding
must be earthed at one point free of interference.
