Shielded Cable: The 1734-232ASC
module requires shielded cable to help
reduce the effects of electrical noise
coupling. Ground each shield at one end
only. A shield grounded at both ends
forms a ground loop, which can cause
module communications to fault. Never
connect a shield to the common side of a
logic circuit (this would introduce noise
into the logic circuit).
Connect the shield directly to a chassis
ground. This chassis ground connection
is not available on the 1734-232ASC RTB
(Removable Terminal Block). On a POINT
I/O system, the chassis ground
connection can be made at the DIN Rail,
at the metal panel the DIN Rail is
mounted to, or at the user’s I/O device.
