Controller I/O Wiring This section contains some relevant information about minimizing electrical noise and also 
includes some wiring examples.
Minimize Electrical Noise
Because of the variety of applications and environments where controllers are installed and 
operating, it is impossible to ensure that all environmental noise will be removed by input 
filters. To help reduce the effects of environmental noise, install the Micro800 system in a 
properly rated (for example, NEMA) enclosure. Make sure that the Micro800 system is properly 
grounded.
A system may malfunction due to a change in the operating environment after a period of 
time. We recommend periodically checking system operation, particularly when new 
machinery or other noise sources are installed near the Micro800 system.
Analog Channel Wiring Guidelines
Consider the following when wiring your analog channels:
• The analog common (COM) is not electrically isolated from the system, and is connected 
to the power supply common. 
• Analog channels are not isolated from each other.
• Use Belden cable #8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
• Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be connected to the metal 
mounting panel (earth ground). Keep the shield connection to earth ground as short as 
possible.
• To ensure optimum accuracy for voltage type inputs, limit overall cable impedance by 
keeping all analog cables as short as possible. Locate the 
I/O system as close to your voltage type sensors or actuators as possible.
Minimize Electrical Noise on Analog Channels
Inputs on analog channels employ digital high-frequency filters that significantly reduce the 
effects of electrical noise on input signals. However, because of the variety of applications 
and environments where analog controllers are installed and operated, it is impossible to 
ensure that all environmental noise will be removed by the input filters.
