The cable diagram shown below may be different from the cable diagram recommended by Siemens AG. Please
be assured there is no operational problem in applying the cable diagram shown in this manual.
• The FG pin of the main body of the External Device must be D-class grounded. Please refer to the manual of
the External Device for more details.
• SG and FG are connected inside the Display. When connecting SG to the External Device, design the system
not to form short-circuit loop.
