4 INSTALLATION AND WIRING
(g) Wiring of 200m (656.17ft.) or longer distance will give rise to leakage
currents due to the line capacity, resulting in a fault.
Refer to the troubleshooting chapter of the I/O Module User's Manual.
(h) As a countermeasure against the power surge due to lightning, separate the
AC wiring and DC wiring and connect a surge absorber for lightning (Refer
to Section 4.4.1(1)).
Failure to do so increases the risk of I/O device failure due to lightning.
(3) Grounding
For grounding, follow the steps (a) to (c) shown below.
(a) Use a dedicated grounding wire as far as possible.
(Ground resistance: 100 or less)
(b) When a dedicated grounding cannot be performed, use (2) Common
Grounding shown below.

(1) Independent grounding.....Best
(c) For grounding a cable, use the cable of 2 mm
Position the ground-contact point as nearly to the Multiple CPU system as
possible, and reduce the length of the grounding cable as much as possible.
