The Line Ground (LG) terminal is a noise-filtered neutral terminal that does not
normally require grounding. If electrical noise is a problem, however, this termi-
nal should be connected to the Ground (GR) terminal.
To avoid electrical shock, attach a grounded (earth ground) AWG 14 wire (cross-
sectional area of at least 2 mm
must be less than 100 W. Do not use a wire longer than 20 m. Care must be tak-
en, because ground resistance is affected by environmental conditions such as
soil composition, water content, time of year, and the length of time since the
wire was laid underground.
PC operation may be adversely affected if the ground wire is shared with other
equipment, or if the ground wire is attached to the metal structure of a building.
When using an Expansion I/O Rack, the Rack must also be grounded to the GR
terminal. The same ground can be used for all connections.
If a separate ground is being supplied to different Racks, Insulating Plates must
be used to insulate the Racks from each other. Insulating Plates are supplied as
an accessory (refer to Appendix B Specifications ).
An external relay should be used to form an emergency stop circuit that turns the
power to the PC OFF in the event of an emergency. An emergency stop routine
in the PC program is not sufficient to ensure safety. The circuit shown below is an
example of an emergency stop circuit.
