Hi, Daniel Chartier, what is the recommendation to connect HMI boady Eath point, whether its protective Earth "PE" or Functional earht(clean earth)"IE" to have safe operation. Also, we are using siemens ScalanceXC206 inbetween 1500R PLC and HMI panel for communication, in the scalance its connected to Functional Earth(clean earth)"IE" as per the recommendation given in the scalance manual. our, doubt is whether HMI has to be connected in "PE" or "IE"?? Thanks, Vijay.K

Hello VIJAYK; Please study the HMI connection diagram, provided by Siemens HMI Comfort panels manual https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/it/en/view/49313233/115399633931 As you can se, all equipotential bonding for the HMI body, the shielding of the communication cables and the grounding connections for the HMI are brought back to the main grounding bar of the cabinet. So, only "PE" (power ground) connections are used, no clean instrument earth is used for the HMI. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
