APPENDICES
(2) Installing devices in the control panel
Installing devices in the control panel has a considerable effect, not only securing
safety but also shielding the noise generated from the personal computer in the
control panel.
(a) Control panel
• Use a conductive control panel.
• Mask off the area used for grounding when securing the top or bottom plate
to the control panel using bolts.
• To ensure electrical contact between the inner plate and the control panel,
mask off the bolt installation areas of an inner plate so that conductivity can
be ensured in the largest possible area.
• Ground the control panel with a thick ground cable so that low impedance can
be ensured even at high frequencies.
• Keep the diameter of the holes on the control panel to 10cm or less. If the
diameter is larger than 10cm, electromagnetic wave may be emitted. In
addition, because electromagnetic wave leaks through a clearance between
the control panel and its door, reduce the clearance as much as possible. Use
of EMI gaskets (sealing the clearance) can suppress undesired radiated
emissions.
The tests by Mitsubishi were conducted using a control panel having the
damping characteristics of 37dB (maximum) and 30dB (average) (measured
at 3m distance, 30 to 300MHz).
(b) Wiring power and ground cables
The power supply cable and ground cable for a personal computer should be laid
out as follows:
• Provide a ground point to the control panel near the power supply module.
Ground the FG terminal of the personal computer and the SLD terminal of the
CC-Link Ver.2 board to the ground point with the thickest and shortest ground
cable possible (30cm or shorter).
• Twist the ground cable leading to the ground point with the power supply
cable. By twisting it with the ground cable, the noise leaking from the power
supply cable may be grounded at a higher rate. However, twisting the power
supply cable with the ground cable may not be necessary if a noise filter is
installed on the power supply cable.
