Operating a programmable
controller with process I/Os
from an ungrounded supply
In cases in which the higher-level power supply is not grounded, you
must connect the programmable controller to a separate protective
conductor/ground (e.g. foundation ground). Operation of the PLC with
non-floating power supplies is not allowed.
When connecting the power supplies, please note:
In 3 x 230 V systems, you may connect the power supply directly to
two phases.
In 3 x 400 V systems, a connection between phase and neutral
conductor is not allowed (excessively high voltage in the event of a
ground fault). Intermediate transformers should be used in these
systems.
