RS-485 Cable Grounding
Ground the cable shield for all devices on the network. Ground the cable shield at only one end to prevent induced
interference that may result from circulating ground currents. If a cable shield is grounded at both ends, a ground
loop can exist between the components. This ground loop can cause induced interference that results in signal
distortion. If there is a ground potential rise between the connected devices, connect the Signal Return (RTN)
between the communication devices. Figure 7-2 illustrates the preferred field device connection method. See
section 4.3.2 on page 7 for jumper considerations.
