In order to prevent noise from interfering with the operation of the PC, use AWG
14 twisted-pair cables (cross-sectional area: 2 mm
PC close to high-power equipment, and make sure the point of installation is at
least 200 mm away from power cables as shown below.

Whenever possible, use wiring conduit to hold the I/O wiring. Standard wiring
conduit should be used, and it should be long enough to completely contain the
I/O wiring and keep it separated from other cables.
