RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GROUNDING CONNECTION AND CABLE ROUTING
The correct connection with the ground decreases problems caused by interference in an industrial environment. The
following are some recommendations about grounding and cable routing:
Always use shielded twisted pair Ethernet cables and connectors with metallic housing.
Connect the equipment grounding via grounding terminal. Avoid the cable connection on multiple grounding
points, especially where there are grounds with different potentials.
Pass signal cables and communication cables in dedicated pathways. Prevent laying these cables next to power
cables.
