Wiring The Power Supply To The Ethercat Slave Terminal; Grounding The Ethercat Slave Terminal - Omron NX-ECC201 User Manual

 Functional Ground Terminals
These are the functional ground terminals. Connect the ground wire to one of these terminals. The
details are given in the following table.
Terminal number indication
A7 or B7
Precautions for Correct Use
Do not connect the through-wiring terminals on the Unit power supply terminals to the I/O
power supply terminals. Always use separate power supplies for the Unit power supply and the
I/O power supply. Otherwise, noise may cause malfunctions.
Refer to 7-2-5 Wiring to the Screwless Clamping Terminal Block on page 7-14 for the procedure to
connect wires to the terminals on the screwless clamping terminal block.

Grounding the EtherCAT Slave Terminal

This section describes how to ground the EtherCAT Slave Terminal.
Units with Ground Terminals and Type of Ground Terminals
Some of the Units in an EtherCAT Slave Terminal have ground terminals.
 Units with Ground Terminals
• EtherCAT Coupler Units
• Additional NX Unit Power Supply Unit
• Shield Connection Unit
When connecting NX Units to external devices, the Shield Connection Unit is used to connect
the shield wire when the shield is used. You can ground more than one shield wire to the same
ground pole to reduce the amount of wiring work for grounding. For the specifications of the
Shield Connection Unit, refer to the NX-series System Units User's Manual (Cat. No. W523).
 Type of Ground Terminals
The ground terminals are functional ground terminals.
Functional grounding is done to protect device and system functions, including prevention of noise
from external sources, or prevention of noise from devices or equipment that could have harmful
effects on other devices or equipment.
