Siemens APOGEE™ FLN (P1) Communication Kit February 2006 Chapter 3 — Installation Making the Ground Connection Grounding by Clamping the Cable to the Drive Frame This method of grounding is the most effective, and especially recommended when the distances between the devices are relatively short or if the device is the last device on the network.
Siemens APOGEE™ FLN (P1) Communication Kit February 2006 4. Strip the communication cables so they can be secured to the drive frame with the grounding clamp. See Figure 3-3 . Figure 3-3: Grounding the Communication Cables Grounding Only One Point on the Net In this method of grounding, the shield is connected to ground only at the last device on the network.
Siemens APOGEE™ FLN (P1) Communication Kit February 2006 3. Secure the communication cables to the drive frame with the grounding clamp as shown in Figure 3-5 . Figure 3-5: Grounding the Communication Cables Bus Terminal Resistors If the OPTCB connector is the last device on the network, the bus termination must be set to ON with Jumper X4.
Siemens APOGEE™ FLN (P1) Communication Kit February 2006 Bus Biasing Bus biasing is required to ensure faultless communication between devices at RS-485 bus. Bus biasing makes sure that the bus state has proper potential when no one is transmitting. Without biasing faulty messages can be detected when the bus is in idle state. RS-485 bus state should be from +0.200 to +7V or -0.200 to -7V.
