Recommended RS-422A/
485 Cable
1,2,3... 1. Always use shielded twisted-pair cables as communications cables.
2. Connect the shield of the communications cable to the Hood (FG) of the
RS-422A/485 connector on the Serial Communications Board or Unit. At
the same time, ground the ground (GR) terminal of the Power Supply Unit
on the CPU Rack or CS Expansion Rack to 100
Ω or less.
Note Always ground the shield only at the Board/Unit end. Grounding both ends of
the shield may damage the device due to the potential difference between the
ground terminals.
