However, do not connect the end of the shield anywhere on the output device. If you ground the shield
on both the High-speed Analog Input Unit side and the output device side, the Unit becomes suscepti-
ble to noise induced due to ground loops.
When you ground the end of the shield, you can use the NX-TBX01 Shield Connection Unit to ground
more than one shield.

Besides the Additional I/O Power Supply Unit, some other Units can supply I/O power to the NX bus. For ex-
ample, you can use a Connected Communications Coupler Unit. If you use this Unit to supply I/O power to the
High-speed Analog Input Units, the Additional I/O Power Supply Unit is unnecessary. The Additional I/O Pow-
er Supply Unit is also unnecessary if you do not use the trigger inputs of the High-speed Analog Input Units.
Precautions for Correct Use
To ensure this NX Unit is kept in the best operating condition, observe the following points when
wiring to avoid the ef
fects of the noise.
•
Use a shield wire (2 conductors, twisted wire) or a shield wire (3 conductors) as the analog
input connection line for each input.
•
Wire the input connection lines and power lines (e.g., AC power supply lines or power lines)
separately. Do not place such lines in the same duct.
• Insert a noise filter into the power supply input section if noise comes from power supply lines
when using the same power supply to power an electrical welder or an electric discharge ma-
chine, or there is a high-frequency source nearby.
