 Daisy Chain
This is an earthing method to connect the device that is connected with a communications cable,
other devices, and a device that could be a noise source using a daisy-chain topology to a common
earth electrode.
This earthing method is not recommended because the device that could be a noise source may
interfere electromagnetically with other devices.
 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 pos-
sible.
• If the same ground is used for both the signal lines and the enclosure, isolate the channel base (a
grounded metal plate inside a control panel) with an insulating material.
Refer to Isolating the CPU Rack from the Control Panel on page 5-44 for how to isolate the CPU
Rack of an NX1P2 CPU Unit.
• 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.
