This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface
such as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from the module’s
mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not required unless the mounting surface
cannot be grounded.
Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be connected to the
metal mounting panel (earth ground). Keep shield connection to earth ground as
short as possible.
Ground the shield drain wire at one end only. The typical location is as follows:
o
For grounded thermocouples or millivolt sensors, this is at the sensor
end.
o
For insulated/ungrounded thermocouples, this is at the module end.
Contact your sensor manufacturer for additional details.
Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-
Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.
Noise Prevention
Route field wiring away from any other wiring and as far as possible from
sources of electrical noise, such as motors, transformers, contactors, and ac
devices. As a general rule, allow at least 15.2 cm (6 in.) of separation for every
120V of power.
Routing field wiring in a grounded conduit can reduce electrical noise.
If field wiring must cross ac or power cables, ensure that they cross at right
angles.
If noise persists for a device, try grounding the opposite end of the cable shield
or ground both ends of the shield.
