Note
If there is a potential difference between the grounding points, an illegally high
compensating current can flow through the shield grounded at both ends. To
rectify the problem, do not, under any circumstances, open the shield of the LAN
cable.
S
Install an additional bonding conductor parallel to the LAN cable
that takes over the shield current (for notes on equipotential
bonding refer to Section C.4.4)
S
Use fiber-optic cable instead of electrical cable (safest solution).
Handling the Shield
Note the following points when handling the shield:
S
Secure the braided shield with metal cable clamps.
S
The clamps must make good and large-area contact with the shield (see Figure
C.3 ).
S
Contact SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS cables only using the braided copper shield
and not the aluminum foil shield. The foil shield is connected to a plastic foil to
increase tearing strength and is therefore non-conductive.
S
Contact the shield with the shielding bar directly at the point at which the cable
enters the cabinet.
