Functional ground
Grounding options
Grounding (functional ground) is via the mounting bracket on the device or via the grounding
screw the front of the device.

With 240 VAC variants the device is grounded via the power cable.
Functional ground
EMC disturbances are diverted to ground via the functional ground. This ensures the
immunity of the data transmission.
The functional ground must be implemented with low impedance. The connection of the
functional ground must be established directly on the mounting plate or the DIN rail terminal.
