z Connections for Echoback Test
We recommend the following wiring methods for RS-232C, especially in environment prone to noise.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable for communications cables.
• Use a twisted-pair cable for each signal line and SG (signal ground) to connect the CPU Unit to a
communications partner. Also, bundle all the SG lines at the Unit and at the other device and connect
them together.
• Connect the shield line of the communications cable to the hood (FG) of the RS-232C connector at
the Unit. Also, ground the protective earth (GR) terminal of the Power Supply Units on the CPU Rack
and the CJ-series Expansion Racks to a resistance of 100 Ω or less. The following example shows
connecting SD-SG, RD-SG, RS-SG, and CS-SG for Serial Communications Mode using a twisted-
pair cable using the peripheral bus.
Note The hood (FG) is internally connected to the protective earth (GR) terminal on the Power Supply Unit
through the CPU Rack. FG can thus be connected by connecting the protective earth (GR) terminal on the
Power Supply Unit. The hood (FG) is also electrically connected to pin 1 (FG), but the connection resistance
between the shield and the FG is smaller for the hood. To reduce contact resistance between the hood (FG)
and the FG, connect the shield both to the hood (FG) and to pin 1 (FG).
Use the following connections.
