When using shielded cable wire, ground the foil shield and
drain wire only at one end ofthe cable. We recommend that
you wrap the foil shield and drain wire together and connect
them to a chassis mounting bolt. At the opposite end ofthe
cable, tape exposed shield and drain wire with electrical tape
to insulate it from electrical contact.
For additional grounding information,
see the Industrial Automation Wiring and
Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1.
