Additional Installation Tips

When experiencing communication problems in for example noisy environments
or when operating close to temperature limits, the following recommendations
are to be noticed.

Ferrite core

24 V DC

The operator panel’s mounting clamps do not provide a secure grounding
connection between the panel and the device cabinet, see 1 in drawing above.
1. Connect a 2.5 mm

2

wire between the operator panel’s quick-connect plinth

and the panel chassis, see 2 in drawing above.

2. Connect a 6 or 4 mm

2

wire or grounding braid between the panel’s chassis and

the closest grounding point on the door, see 3 in drawing above.

3. Connect a strong but short grounding braid between the door and the device

cabinet, see 4 in drawing above.

4. Twist the cables onto the 24 V DC feed, see 5 in drawing above.

2 turns around the ferrite core provide 4 times the suppression of 1 turn.
3 turns around the ferrite core provide 9 times the suppression of 1 turn.

A ferrite core suppresses disturbances to the 24 V feed, see 6 in drawing above.

Note:
The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area.
A long, thin grounding wire has a very high impedance (resistance) at high frequencies
and will not guide disturbances to the ground.
Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area.
A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better. The best is a short, thick
grounding braid.
