A-3-6 Handling the Shield on RS-422A/485 Cables
Perform the following procedures to connect, process the shield, and connect to ground
for communications systems using the NS-AL002. Incorrect connection may result in
communications errors with the host.
● Connecting the NS-AL002 D-Sub Connector
Always securely tighten the screws on both sides of the D-Sub connector. Otherwise, the
functional ground terminal (FG: ) of the PT will not be properly connected to the func-
tional ground of the NS-AL002.
● Connecting the Ground Wire
The PT has a functional ground terminal (FG: ).
1. Ground according to Figure (a) for normal grounding.
•
•
•
•
Connect the ground terminal (GR) of the devices to the functional ground (FG: ).
Make sure that each signal line is grounded at only one point and ground to 100
Ω max.
Short the LG terminal of the PLC to the ground terminal (GR).
Use a wire gauge of at least 2 mm
2
for the ground wire.
Refer to the manual for individual Communications Units for details on proper wiring pro-
cedures.
2. Do not ground the functional ground (FG: ) of the PT if it is mounted to the same
panel as devices that generate noise, such as motors or inverters, as shown in Figure
(b).
