Shielding

The shield is to be connected over the entire length of the bus cable, and only galvanically grounded at one point, in order to avoid ground loops.
The design of the screening, in which HF interference is diverted through R/C elements to the mounting rail assumes that the rail is appropriately earthed and free from interference. If this is not the case, it is possible that HF interference will be transmitted from the mounting rail to the shield of the bus cable. In that case the shield should not be attached to the couplers - it should nevertheless still be fully connected through.

Notes related to checking the CAN wiring can be found in the Trouble Shooting section.
