6.5 Connecting equipotential-bonding conductors

I/O connection
● Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
● Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
● Choose the greatest possible clearance between the power and signal cables (at least 20
● Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.
● Surge suppressors – e.g. RC elements or varistors – must be connected to the solenoids of
● In order to reduce noise/interference entering or exiting via the cable, filter auxiliary voltages

Potential concept

A noise-free connection between the internal and external supply voltage can be achieved by
connecting the 0 V potentials to each other and grounding them. This also eliminates the need
for the control circuit insulation monitor required by DIN EN 60204-1.

All cabinets belonging to the system are connected by signal cables. Also connect the cabinets
using equipotential-bonding conductors; according to the following diagram, for example:

clearance must be. You must install additional shields if sufficient clearance cannot be
maintained.
