Connecting the cable shield for other components
The following procedures for connecting the shield to devices that do not have any special
shield terminals have proven themselves in practice.
Note the following points when handling the shield:
● Always use metal clamps to mount the protective braided shields of the cables. The
clamps must cover a large area of the shield and provide appropriate contact force.
● Attach the shield to a shielding bus directly after the point where the cable enters the
cabinet. If you route the shield further to the module, do not connect the shield again in
front of the module, as this would create ground loops.
The following figure shows standard types of shield fastening.
