RS-232C and RS-422A/485 Wiring Section 3-4
2. Combine signal wires and SG (signal ground) wires in a twisted-pair cable.
At the same time, bundle the SG wires to the connectors on the Serial
Communications Board/Unit and the remote device.
3. Connect the shield of the communications cable to the Hood (FG) terminal
of the RS-232C connector on the Serial Communications Board/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.
4. A connection example is shown below.
Example: Twisted-pair Cable Connecting SD-SG, RD-SG, RTS-SG, and
CTS-SG Terminals
Note The Hood (FG) is internally connected to the ground terminal (GR) on the
Power Supply Unit via the CPU Rack or Expansion Rack. Therefore, FG is
grounded by grounding the ground terminal (GR) on the Power Supply Unit.
Although there is conductivity between the Hood (FG) and pin 1 (FG), connect
the Hood (FG) to the shield because the Hood (FG) has smaller contact resis-
tance with the shield than pin 1 (FG), and thus provides better noise resis-
tance.
