so ive been reading up all about proper handling of shielded signal wires, but i still have a few questions. if youre dealing with say a 4-20ma sensor in a machine, using belden 8760 cable for said sensor. that cable runs from the sensor to a junction box on the machine where there is a DIN rail with terminal blocks. once on site there would be wires pulled from the machine junction box to the control cabinet. in the control cabinet that cable would be landed directly on an analog input card.
-That shield for said cable, where would that be landed within the control cabinet? Should that go to a terminal block, the kind thats bonded directly to the DIN rail? Or is there a better method?
-Should the shield on that cable be landed in the machine junction box at all? I assume then it would be carried all the way through to the control cabinet.
lots of people on here with tons more experience then i have on this subject and im looking forward to learning how this is normally handled by the masses out in the real world. thanks!
