6.3 Potential concept

I/O connection
● Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
● Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
● Choose the greatest possible clearance between the power and signal cables (at least 20
● Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.
● Surge suppressors, e.g. RC elements or varistors must be connected to the operating coils
● In order to reduce noise/interference entering or exiting via the cable, filter auxiliary voltages
6.3 Potential concept
A noise-free connection between the internal and external supply voltage can be achieved by
connecting the 0 V potentials to each other and grounding them. This also eliminates the need
for the control circuit insulation monitor required by DIN EN 60204-1.

cm). The greater the distance over which the cables are routed in parallel, the greater the
clearance must be. You must install additional shields if sufficient clearance cannot be
maintained.
