Connecting to Protective Ground
Connect your DNP3 I/O module to site ground, using a separate 2.05 mm (12 AWG) Yellow/ Green wire.
Each type of DNP I/O Module has a different ground point, as shown in the
examples below.
The location of the protective ground terminal varies between WESTERM I/O module types. Refer to
Module Layout drawing of your module for detailed information. For example, see below.
