8) Ground Wiring

All Numatics Inc. communication nodes should be grounded during the installation process. These grounding
guidelines can be found in National Electrical code IEC 60204-1 or EN 60204-1. There also is a,
"ATTENTION: CONNECT TO EARTH GROUND FOR PROPER GROUNDING OF UNIT", label
attached to the chassis ground connection point on the G2-2 series communication node housing. This label
also points out where the grounding guidelines can be found.

Proper grounding will alleviate and prevent many intermittent problems
with network communication.
•
When grounding to a machine frame, please ensure that the machine frame
itself is already properly grounded.
•
Better grounding can be achieved when larger diameter (lower gauge) wire
is used.
