Transducer Grounding

Make certain the transducers are electrically isolated from earth ground. Cable
shields must be grounded at one end of the cable, and the other end left
floating or not connected. We recommend that where possible, the cable
shield be grounded at the XM terminal base (Chassis terminal) and not at the
transducer.

DeviceNet Grounding - XM-120, XM-121, XM-122, and XM-123 Modules

The DeviceNet network is functionally isolated and must be referenced to
earth ground at a single point. XM modules can not be used with an external
DeviceNet power supply. Connect DeviceNet V- to earth ground at one of
the XM modules, as shown in the illustration below.

Grounded DeviceNet V- at XM Module

IMPORTANT

The 24V Common and Signal Common terminals are internally connected.
They are isolated from the Chassis terminals unless they are connected to
ground as described in this manual. See

Wiring

on page 17 for terminal

assignments.

ATTENTION

Use of a separate DeviceNet power supply is not permitted. See the XM Power
Supply Solutions Application Profile, publication

ICM-AP005

, for guidance in

using the XM module with other DeviceNet products.
