Insert the data cables of both cables into terminals #3 (Line B) and #4 (Line A).

Strip the cable at such a distance from the terminal that you can fix it to the frame with the
grounding clamp. See pictures below:
Figure 4-3.

Grounding only one point on the net
In this manner of grounding, the shield is connected to ground only at the last device on the net in
the same way as described in chapter 4.1. Other devices of the net just pass the shield.
We recommend you to use an Abico connector to fit the shields into the terminal.
1. Strip about 5 cm of the cable and cut off the grey cable shield. Remember to do this for
both bus cables (except for the last device).
2. Leave no more than 1 cm of the cable outside the terminal block and strip the data cable
at about 0.5 cm to fit in the terminals. See Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-5.
Note! Do this for both cables.
