reliable multi-point contact to the relevant module.
The zero-potential (Minus pole) of the 24 V supply is connected to the Minus
terminal of the PCD1/PCD2 supply. This should be connected to the earthing bar
with the shortest possible wire (< 25 cm) of 1.5 mm

. The same applies to the Minus
connection to the F1xx or the interrupt terminal.
Any shielding of analogue signals or communication cables should also be brought to
the same earth potential, either via a Minus terminal or via the earthing bar.
All Minus connections are linked internally. For problem-free operation, these
connections should be reinforced externally with short wires of 1.5 mm
