Shield connector(s) for physical earth

Proper connection of cable shielding to the device should be ensured. The shield con-
nector can be found on the bottom side of the device (or on the right side of each con-
nector on ibaPADU-16/-32/-32-R). It should be connected with any total shield that
serves for all cables. In addition, each individual sensor channel shield must be con-
nected to its respective input channel shield pin.
Note
Connect shield on one cable side only to avoid ground loops.
Note
Always ground the DIN rail on which the device is installed.
