Serial communication cables for COM1 and COM2 should be correctly terminated.

Typically COM1 is used for communications to the PLC and COM2 is used for Host Communications to another device or for a serial mouse.

To ensure that the installation meets the EMC radiation specification, the serial cables must comply with the following requirements:

The cables must be of the shielded type.

The D-type connector covers must provide EMC shielding (e.g. metallized plastic or

￿die cast metal covers).

The cables must be terminated with 360 degree termination of the shield, as illustrated below.
