NOTICE
If the connecting cable (e.g. PROFIBUS) is routed through several control cabinets, an
equipotential bonding conductor is to be connected to the Control Unit's "potential
connection". A finely stranded copper conductor with a 4 mm² cross-section must be used.
The equipotential bonding conductor is to be routed together with the connecting cable.

RI suppression measures
In addition to the protective grounding of system components, special precautions must be
taken to ensure safe, fault-free operation of the system. These measures include shielded
signal cables, special equipotential bonding, isolation, and shielding measures.
Shielded signal lines
● To ensure safe, fault-free operation of the system, it is essential to use the cables
● For digital signal transmission, the shielding must always be connected to the housings at

both ends.
Exception:
If non-Siemens devices are connected (printers, programming devices, etc.), standard
shielded cables grounded at one end can also be used. However, these devices must not
be connected to the controller during normal operation. However, if the system cannot
operate without them, then the cable shields must be connected at both ends.
Furthermore, the non-Siemens device must be connected to the controller via an
equipotential bonding cable.

– Binary inputs and outputs
– EMERGENCY OFF lines
– Low-voltage supply lines (230 V AC, +24 V DC, etc.)
– Supply cables to contactors (primary and secondary circuit)
