SQ 05.2 SQ 14.2 / SQR 05.2
Lay cables being susceptible to interference or sources of interference at the
highest possible distance from each other.
The interference immunity of signal and fieldbus cables increases if the cables
are laid close to the earth potential.
If possible, avoid laying long cables and make sure that they are installed in
areas being subject to low interference.
Avoid parallel paths with little cable distance of cables being either susceptible
to interference or interference sources.

Cable recommendation
Only cables complying with the recommendations of EIA 485 specifications should be used for Modbus
wiring.

Screening
Prior to installation, please note:
Connect maximum 32 devices to one segment.
If more devices are to be connected:
- Connect several segments using repeaters.
Install fieldbus cables at a distance of minimum 20 cm to other cables.
If possible, fieldbus cables should be laid in a separate, conductive, and earthed
cable tray.
Ensure absence of equipotential earth bonding differences between the indi-
vidual devices at fieldbus (perform an equipotential earth bonding).
