Grounding of Screened Control
Cables
Correct screening
The preferred method in most cases is to secure control
and serial communication cables with screening clamps
provided at both ends to ensure best possible high
frequency cable contact. If the ground potential between
the frequency converter and the PLC is different, electric
noise may occur that disturbs the entire system. Solve this
problem by fitting an equalizing cable next to the control
cable. Minimum cable cross section: 16 mm

50/60 Hz ground loops
With very long control cables, ground loops may occur. To
eliminate ground loops, connect one end of the screen-to-
ground with a 100 nF capacitor (keeping leads short).

Avoid EMC noise on serial communication
This terminal is connected to ground via an internal RC
link. Use twisted-pair cables to reduce interference
between conductors. The recommended method is shown
