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.
