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.
Note: Normally, the option board has already been installed in slot E of the control board. It is
not necessary to detach the whole board to ground the bus cable shield. Just detach
the terminal block.
1. Strip about 2 in. (5 cm) from the cables (shown at the left of Figure 3-1 ), and cut off the
gray cable shield.
Note: Do this for both communication cables, except for the last device.
2. Leave no more than 1/4 in. (1 cm) of each cable outside the terminal block, and strip the
ends of both cables (shown at the right of Figure 3-1 ) to about 0.2 in (0.5 cm) to fit in the
terminals.
3. Insert the cables into Terminals 3 (Cable A) and 4 (Cable B). See Figure 3-2 .
