WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 XTR Connect Devices 51750-xxxx/0040-xxxx Design Notes /XTRManualVersion 1.2.06.6.2 Grounding FunctionThe grounding function increases the resistance against electro-magneticinterferences. Some components in the I/O system have a carrier rail contact thatdissipates electro-magnetic interferences to the carrier rail.Figure 23: Carrier Rail Contact (Example)Ensure sufficient grounding is provided!You must take care to ensure the direct electrical connection between the carrierrail contact and the carrier rail.The carrier rail must be grounded.For information on carrier rail properties, see section “Mounting” > … > “CarrierRail Properties”.The bottom CAGE CLAMP ® connectors of the supply modules enable optionalconnection of a field-side functional ground. This potential is made available tothe I/O module arranged on the right through the spring-loaded contact of thethree power contacts. Some I/O modules are equipped with a knife-edge contactthat taps this potential. This forms a potential group with regard to functionalground with the I/O module arranged on the left.Pos : 34.43 /D okumentati on allgemei n/Gli ederungsel emente/---Seitenwec hs el--- @ 3\mod_1221108045078_0.doc x @ 21810 @ @ 1
