8.5.3 Interconnecting the Earth Terminals of Multiple Switchgear Cabinets
The earth must be with less interference voltage as possible. If this cannot be achieved, a se-
parate earth for the control has to be installed.

8.6 Shielding of Data Lines in the HIMA Communication Systems
Reliable shielding of data lines in HIMA communication systems is achieved by the following
measures:
The connection
1
) of the cable shield from the bus subscriber’s (H41q, H51q) to the bus termi-
nals (H 7506) is established on the bus subscriber’s side. Via the plug case and the metal front
plate a connection is established via the PCB layout to the PE cabinet earth. The other side of
the cable shield is not connected.
The connection
2
) of the H 7505 interface converter is also established on one side via the plug
case. The connection to the top hat rail is established via the X2/1
5
) connection. According to
HIMA earthing principles the top hat rail itself is connected to the cabinet earth or optionally, to
an instrument earth
6
).
The connection
4
) of the cable shield between the individual H 7506 bus terminals is estab-
lished on one side via a terminal. The terminal is located on a top hat rail to which it is also
conductively connected.
