Grounding Guidelines
In solid-state control systems, grounding helps limit the effects of electrical
noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The ground path for the SLC
500 controller and its enclosure is provided by the equipment grounding
conductor.
Connect Equipment Grounding Conductor to Ground Bus
Ground connections should run from the chassis and power supply on each
SLC 500 controller and expansion unit to the ground bus. Exact connections
will differ between applications.
