5-4-5 Grounding
This section describes how to ground the CPU Rack.
5-4-5 Grounding
When you connect a computer or other peripheral device to a Controller that has a non-isolated
DC power supply, either ground the 0-V side of the external power supply or do not ground it at
all.
If the peripheral devices are grounded incorrectly, the external power supply may be short-cir-
cuited. Never ground the 24-V side of the power supply, as shown in the following figure.
