Advantech PCI-1718 Series user manual Correct Connection, Incorrect Connection

Page 39

If the signal source has one side connected to a local ground, the signal source ground and the PCI-1718HDU/HGU ground will not be at exactly the same voltage, as they are connected through the ground return of the equipment and building wiring. The difference between the ground volt- ages forms a common-mode voltage.

To avoid the ground loop noise effect caused by common-mode voltages, connect the signal ground to the LOW input. Do not connect the LOW input to the PCI-1718HDU/HGU ground directly. In some cases you may also need a wire connection between the PCI-1718HDU/HGU ground and the signal source ground for better grounding. The following two dia- grams show correct and incorrect connections for a differential input with local ground:
