3) For the multicore cable, it is recommended that a cable transmit the same type of
signals. If a cable is used to transmit dierent types of signals, use the cable with
conductor shielded, as shown in the following gure:
Power + Analog Digital + Relay contact

4) When certain conductors in a multicore cable are not used, connect all the unused
(or reserved) conductors to the equipotential connection point.

5) For the low-level sensor signals and relay signals with a common, lay the two
cables close to each other, preventing too large loop area.
Make sure to use the twisted pair for the analog signal.
Lay the digital signal cables close to each other.
