8.2.3 Grounding
This section describes the precautions for grounding the GP unit.
• When supplying power to the GP unit, be sure to separate the
input/output and power lines, as shown. [diagram (a)]
• If exclusive grounding is not possible, use a common
grounding point. [diagram (b)] A D-type grounding or equiva-
lent should be used for the grounding point.
Do not use common grounding, since it can lead to an accident or machine breakdown.
• Check that the grounding resistance is
100
Ω or less.
• FG and SG terminals are internally
connected in the GP. When connecting
an external device to the GP using the
SG terminal, be sure to check that no
short-circuit loop is created when you
setup the system.
• The grounding wire should have a cross
sectional area greater than 2mm
2
Create the grounding point as close to
the GP unit as possible, and make the
wire as short, as possible. When using
a long grounding wire, replace the thin
wire with a thicker wire, and place it in a
duct.
• If the equipment does not function properly
when grounded, disconnect the ground wire
from the FG terminal.
(a) Exclusive Grounding (BEST)
(b) Exclusive Grounding (OK)
(C) Common Grounding (Not OK)
