Rules: Interference-proof installation of the connection
Special shielding and grounding measures are not required if you interconnect the
CU and ED using suitable interface modules (Send IM and Receive IM). However,
make sure that
• all module racks are interconnected with low impedance,
• the module racks of a grounded assembly are grounded in a star pattern,
• the contact springs of the module racks are clean and not bent in order to
ensure interference current diversion.
