Data Bus Shield Grounding Requirements
The EIA-485 data bus standard requires that the data bus must be shielded against interference. A
Modbus RTU data bus must also be properly grounded.
The data bus’ cable shields must be twisted together and connected to the S or shield terminal at each
ECY Series Controller. Keep the cable shield connections short and take steps at each device to iso-
late the cable shield from touching any metal surface by wrapping them with electrical tape, for exam-
ple. Note that for ECY Series Controllers, the data bus’ cable shield provides the ground reference for
the data bus. If the controller is at the end of the BACnet MS/TP data bus, simply connect the data bus
shield to the S terminal.
Grounding the shield of a data bus segment in more than one place will more than likely reduce shielding
effectiveness.
Modbus RTU Data Bus Shield Grounding Requirements
The shield on each data bus segment must be connected to the electrical system ground at one point
only, for example, at the ECLYPSE Controller, as shown below.
