6.3.1 Grounding
If necessary, ground the instrument to increase the noise resistance.
NOTE
• For grounding purposes, use wiring with a minimum of 2mm
2
. The
grounding connection should have a resistance of less than 100Ω.
• The point of grounding should be as close to the PLC as possible. The
ground wire should be as short as possible.
• If two devices share a single ground point, it may produce an adverse
effect. Always use an exclusive ground for each device.

Risk of short circuits
Depending on the surroundings in which the equipment is used, grounding may cause
problems.
Example1:
Since the power supply lines of the FPΣ and of the FP0 expansion unit (24V DC and 0V
terminal) are connected to the function earth (PE) through a varistor, the varistor may be
shorted if there is an irregular potential between the power supply line and function earth.
