Non-isolated sensors
The non-isolated sensors are connected with the local ground potential (local
ground). When using non-isolated sensors, you must connect M
ANA
to the local
ground.
Connecting non-isolated sensors
Caused by local conditions or interferences, potential differences U
CM
(static or
dynamic) can occur between the locally distributed individual measuring points. If
the potential difference U
CM
exceeds the permissible value, you must provide
equipotential bonding conductors between the measuring points.
When connecting non-isolated sensors to optically isolated modules, you can
operate the CPU in Grounded mode (refer to the figure below) or Ungrounded
mode.
