Advantech ADAM-6050 18-Channel Isolated Digital I/O Modbus TCP Module ADAM-6050-BE Scheda Tecnica

•  Single isolated cable The diagram shows the structure of an isolated 

cable. You see the isolated layer which is spiraled Aluminum foil to 
cover the wires. This spiraled structure makes a layer for shielding the 
cables from external noise.

•  Double isolated cable Figure 10 is an example of a double isolated 

cable. The first isolating layer of spiraled aluminum foil covers the con-
ductors. The second isolation layer is several bare conductors that spiral 
and cross over the first shield layer. This spiraled structure makes an 
isolated layer for reducing external noise. Additionally, follow these 
tips just for your reference.

•  The shield of a cable cannot be used for signal ground. The shield is 

designed for carrying noise, so the environment noise will couple and 
interfere with your system when you use the shield as signal ground.

•  The higher the density of the shield - the better, especially for commu-

nication network.

•  Use double isolated cable for communication network / AI / AO.
•  Both sides of shields should be connected to their frame while inside 

the device. (for EMI consideration)

•  Don’t strip off too long of plastic cover for soldering.
