Do not twist, stretch, or crush cables when routing them.
When routing the bus cable outdoors, observe the general regulations regarding lightning and
grounding.
Lightning protection
If cables for SIMATIC S5 devices are to be laid outdoors, both indoor and outdoor lightning
protection should be provided.
Outside buildings, cables should be laid
• in steel conduits grounded at both ends or
• in concrete cable ducts with continuous armouring.
Install these elements where the cable enters the building.
Note
Look at each system individually to determine the measures necessary to protect it
against lightning. Please address your questions to your local Siemens representative.
