Observe the following points.
• The coils and contacts in electromagnetic contactors and relays in an external circuit are sources of
noise. Do not install them close to the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal. Locate them at least 100 mm
away from the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal.
Observe the following points when wiring the power supply system.
• Separate the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal power supply from the I/O device power supply and install a
noise filter near the power supply feed section.
• Use an isolating transformer to significantly reduce noise between the EtherNet/IP Slave Terminal
and the ground. Install the isolating transformer between a power supply and the noise filter, and do
not ground the secondary coil of the transformer.
