Grounding
Observe the following:
• Provide independent grounding when possible. Ground the FG and LG terminals to the protective ground conductor
dedicated to the programmable controller (ground resistance: 100 ohms or less).
• If independent grounding cannot be provided, employ (2) Shared grounding shown below.

Ground
resistance of
100Ω or less
(1) Independent grounding: Recommended
(2) Shared grounding: Allowed
(3) Common grounding: Not allowed
• Use the thickest cable (maximum of 2). Bring the grounding point close to the programmable controller as much as
possible so that the ground cable can be shortened.
