4.8.2 S7-300 installation with grounded reference potential
Introduction
In an S7-300 configuration with grounded reference potential occurring interference
current is dissipated to the ground conductor/ to ground. A configuration with
grounded reference potential is possible with following CPUs:
• CPU 312 IFM and CPUs 31xC
(internally hardwired)
• CPU 313, 314, 314 IFM, 315, 315-2 DP, 316-2 DP, 318-2 DP
(bridged terminals M and functional ground)
Connection block diagram
The figure below shows an S7-300 assembly with CPU 313, 314, 314 IFM, 315,
315-2 DP, 316-2 DP, 318-2 DP and grounded reference potential. If you want to
ground reference potential, you must not remove the bridge on the CPU between
the M terminal and functional ground.
