Precautions for Grounding
General Precautions
• To prevent electrical shock, do not connect devices to ground poles (or steel frames) with non-
equalized potential to which multiple devices are connected.
• Use a ground pole as close to the Controller as possible and keep the ground line as short as
possible.
• If the same ground is used for both the signal lines and the enclosure, isolate the channel base
(a metal plate inside a grounded control panel) with an insulating material.

• If high-frequency equipment is present, then ground not only the high-frequency equipment but
also the panel itself in which the Controller is housed.
•
As shown in the following diagram, when using shielded cable for I/O wiring, connect the shield
near the Controller to the enclosure ground terminal.
Follow the instructions in the Communications Unit manual for preparing shielded communica-
tions cables.
