Connecting cables
If you make your own connecting cables you must remember that unconnected inputs at the
communication partner may have to be connected to open-circuit potential.
Please note that you must only use shielded connector casings. A large surface area of both
sides of the cable shield must be in contact with the connector casing. You are advised to
use Siemens V42 254 shielded connector casings.
CAUTION
Never connect the cable shield with the GND, as this could destroy the submodules.
GND must always be connected on both sides (pin 5), otherwise the submodules could
again be destroyed.
