SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL 
  DO NOT bundle a communication line with a protective earth conductor or a power line. 
Moreover, keep away a communication line from the apparatus used as a noise source as much 
as possible. 
  As radio frequency noise measure, place a ferrite core on both ends of the communication cable. 
When electromagnetic interference caused by radio frequency noise in frequency band (150 kHz 
to 1 GHz) affects communication, attaching ring ferrite cores to the cable is effective to reduce 
communication failure.

  Locate and secure the cables. 
It may be difficult to measure the reproducibility of the communication failure without securing the 
cables. 
  Avoid installing a power line and a communication line in the same metallic duct. 
When  unavoidable,  separate  a  line  with  a  metal  separator  certainly,  and  connect  the  duct 
containing  a  metal  separator  certainly  to  GND,  or  installing  a  communication  line  put  into 
conductive pipes, such as metal.
