5.2.2 Grounding
Under normal conditions, the inherent noise resistance is sufficient. However, in
situations of excess noise, ground the instrument to increase noise suppression.
For grounding purposes, use wiring with a minimum of 2 mm
2
. The grounding
connection should have a resistance of less than 100 Ω.
The point of grounding should be as close to the PLC unit as possible. The ground wire
should be as short as possible.
If two devices share a single ground point, it may produce an adverse effect. Always
use an exclusive ground for each device.

Note
Depending on the surroundings in which the equipment is used,
grounding may cause problems.
Example:
Since the power supply line of the FPΣ power supply connector
is connected to the function earth through a varistor, if there is
an irregular potential between the power supply line and earth,
the varistor may be shorted.
