I/O interfacing
● Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
and distributed devices with the largest possible cross-section (at least 16 mm²).
● Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
● Select the highest possible distance between the power and signal cables, with a
minimum of 20 cm at the very least. The greater the distance over which the cables are
routed in parallel, the greater the clearance must be. If a sufficient clearance cannot be
maintained, you must install additional shields.
● Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.
Filtering cables
● Line supply cables and power supply cables for devices and modules may have to be
filtered in the cabinet to reduce incoming or outgoing disturbances.
● To reduce emissions, the device is equipped with a radio interference suppression filter
as standard (in accordance with the limit values defined in category C3). Optional filters
can be fitted for use in the first environment (category C2).
Protective ground conductors
● According to EN 61800-5-1, Section. 6.3.6.7, the minimum cross-section of the protective
ground conductor must conform to the local safety regulations for protective ground
conductors for equipment with a high leakage current.
