Installing the Module

The 1769-SM2 module 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. Refer to
Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication
1770-4.1, for additional information.

Shielded Connector Grounding Requirements

When using the 22-RJ45CBL-20 cable, which has shielded connectors,
the shields are all grounded to the chassis terminal block on the
1769-SM2 module (item 11 in

Figure 1.1

). However, the user must:

Install a wire from the chassis terminal block on the 1769-SM2
module to a grounded, conductive surface (i.e. metal panel). See

Figure 2.6

.

Remove the shield connection to chassis ground at the drive I/O
block shield terminal.
