The grounding strategy for the external shielded cable of the edge computing box depends on the interference frequency. For low-frequency magnetic field interference, single-end grounding is recommended to prevent ground loops. For power frequency and radio frequency interference, double-end grounding is recommended to achieve high-frequency shielding. For common EMC issues of edge boxes, if there is a ground potential difference on site and the signal is low-frequency analog (e.g., 4-20mA), single-end grounding is recommended. If it is high-frequency digital communication (e.g., USB Ethernet), double-end 360° grounding is recommended. If necessary, a 1nF 2kV Y capacitor should be connected in series at one end to achieve high-frequency grounding and DC isolation. It is recommended to add a ferrite core (CMZ7060A-701T) with an impedance of 700Ω at the end of the shielding layer to suppress high-frequency resonance at 100MHz. Example: The edge box RS485 shielded cable uses double-end grounding and is connected to the PE via a Y capacitor. The communication rate is 115200bps with no packet loss and passes the IEC61000-4-6 10V test.
