CPU363, CPU364, and CPU374 Shield Grounding

The CPU363, CPU364, and CPU374 modules must be connected to frame ground at the slot where
they are installed. Each module comes with a grounding wire for this purpose. These modules do
not support or require the use of a grounding bracket. If the ring terminal on the grounding wire is
to be mounted to a painted surface, remove the paint under the ring terminal to ensure good contact,
or place a star lock washer between the ring terminal and the painted surface. See the next figure.
Note: The star lock washer method is suitable for a shield ground, but not suitable for a
safety ground.

Additional Modules with Shield Grounding Requirements

Some of the Series 90-30 Option modules, such as the FIP Remote I/O Scanner (IC693BEM330),
and DSM modules (IC693DSM302 and IC693DSM314) also have shield grounding requirements.
These modules come equipped with suitable grounding hardware. Please refer to each module's
user's manual for grounding instructions. Appendix G contains a product to publication cross-
reference to help you identify the correct manual.
