6 Wiring Guidelines
6.1 Ground
The signal-processing electronics must be connected to ground through the mounting on
control cabinet or over the ground terminal provided. It is important to create a low-ohm
ground connection, only then can error-free operation be guaranteed. The ground connec-
tion should have a maximum cross section and the largest (electrical) surface possible.

Any noise signals that reach the signal-processing electronics over external cables must be
filtered through the ground connection. High frequency noise can also be dissipated with a
large electrical surface (skin effect).

27.07.2017 Page 11
PC 301-E8 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE

6.2 Shielding
The wiring for the COM1, display port, Ethernet, VGA, and DVI must be shielded. The low-
ohm shielding is either connected at the entry to the control cabinet or directly before the
PC 443 over a large, low-ohm surface (cable grommets, grounding clamps)!

Noise signals can therefore be prevented from reaching the electronics and affecting the
function.

6.3 ESD Protection

Typically, the PS/2 devices (keyboard, mouse) are not equipped with shielded cables. The
same applies to the USB keyboard and mouse. These devices are disrupted by ESD and in
some instances, no longer function.

Before any device is connected to or disconnected from the PC 443, the potential should be
equalized (by touching control cabinet or ground terminal). This will allow the dissipation of
electrostatic loads (caused by clothing/shoes).

7 HMI-Link G2 Wiring
7.1 Ground
For the HM Link G2 line, CAT5e or CAT6 cables with shielded RJ45 connectors must be
used.

The cable shielding must be connected to ground on both sides to prevent noise signals
from reaching the electronics and affecting the function.

For CAT5e cables, the total allowable length is limited to 90 m. To utilize the maximum
100 m length of the Link system, at least a CAT6 cable must be used.

7.2 HMI-Link G2 Cable Specifications

The RJ45 cable must be wired 1:1 in accordance with the EIA568A standard.

Self-fabricated cables must be tested for compliance with the limit values corresponding to
the cable class (CAT5e/CAT6...).

EIA 568A Pin Assignment

Pin Wire Color Signal
1 White/green. HMI_P0
2 green HMI_N0
3 White/orange HMI_P1
4 blue HMI_P2
5 White/blue HMI_N2
6 Orange HMI_N1
7 White/brown HMI_P3
8 Brown HMI_N3

7.3 HMI-Link G2 Wires in the Cable Strand

To guarantee correct function, it is important to ensure that in the cable strand, the wires do
not run parallel over long distances. This especially applies to fast data lines such as Ether-
net, VARAN, as well as the HMI-Link. Here, it is recommended to use a cable that is equal
to or better than the CAT6A standard.

When multiple HMI-Link cables run in parallel, the following limit values for the maximum
length of the parallel wiring apply:

Cable type 30 m 50 m 70 m 100 m

CAT5e/CAT6 6 4 2 1
CAT6a/CAT7 6 6 6 6

Crosstalk between the data lines and the interference it causes, which are coupled between
the wires should be monitored. The highest number of cables allowed in a cable strand with
multiple HMI-Link cables, which are run over a defined distance, is specified.
