5.2 GROUND
The following ground systems are provided for the CNC machine
tool:
(a) Signal ground system (SG)
The signal ground (SG) supplies the reference voltage (0V) of
the electrical signal system.
(b) Frame ground system (FG)
The frame ground system (FG) is used for safety, and
suppressing external and internal noises. In the frame ground
system, the frames, cases of the units, panels, and shields for the
interface cables between the units are connected.
(c) System ground system
The system ground system is used to connect the frame ground
systems connected between devices or units with the ground.
[Notes on connecting the ground systems]
- Connect the signal ground (0V) with the frame ground (FG) at
only one place in the power supply module.
- The grounding resistance of the system ground shall be 100
ohms or less (class D grounding).
- The system ground cable must have enough cross-sectional area
to safely carry the accidental current flow into the system ground
when an accident such as a short circuit occurs. (Generally, it
must have the cross-sectional area of the AC power cable or
more.)
- Use the cable containing the AC power wire and the system
ground wire so that power is supplied with the ground wire
connected.
