Analog sensors and actors should always be connected with shielded, twisted paired wires.
5.4 Mounting of Passive Terminals
Note
Hint for mounting passive terminals
EtherCAT Bus Terminals (ELxxxx / ESxxxx), which do not take an active part in data trans-
fer within the bus terminal block are so called Passive Terminals. The Passive Terminals
have no current consumption out of the E-Bus To ensure an optimal data transfer, you
must not directly string together more than 2 Passive Terminals!
