Hello,
I had debate with Coworker involving Grounding and Analogue.
We Build and manufacture PLC enclosures, should the ground terminal blocks (where the field devices terminate to) be isolated from the grounded Din Rail, And have wires running straight to the ground Bar/Bus. Or.. Can we just use ground terminal blocks that bond directly to the Din Rail?
Does the ground terminal blocks need to be isolated from the Din Rail and wired directly to the ground Bar?
In my mind its the Same Thing? Same ground reference.
Apparently the 60hz from the 120Ac has a different affect on the two different installations??
Does it actually matter?
If this is not clear please let me know
