Chassis GND
To guarantee fault-free operation of the device, the cylinder must be connected to
machine ground (Chassis GND).
The physical contact with another machine component equalizes the potential of the
cylinder. If the cylinder is mounted in an insulated manner, a separate grounding must
be provided, e.g., by connecting a ground strap directly to the cylinder.
Cable shielding
The device is adequately shielded by the cylinder when installed, and therefore has not
been provided with its own shielding. If a shielded cable is used, it is necessary to
check, depending on the application, whether one side or both sides of the shield
should be connected to machine ground. Any high voltage or high frequency fields in
the vicinity can influence the shielding and the signal in the cable.
