Grounding for the Analog Inputs
If the valid Common Mode area (VCM) cannot be retained, the analog inputs must
be grounded. To do this, the ground lines of the individual analog inputs (1) and the
shielding must be routed to the grounding point isolated.
Refer to Figure 13-12 for the grounding of the analog inputs.
Grounding for the Analog Outputs
To do this, the ground lines of the individual analog outputs (2) and the shielding
must be routed to the grounding point isolated.
With a grounded installation of the load current supply, the ground terminal of the
load current supply must be connected with its own line to the grounding point (3).
The following figure shows the grounding of the analog outputs.
