Cable shields are typically tied to frame/backplane ground. One end only if you want to avoid ground loops. The cable shield from your VFD to motor connection should also be tied to frame/backplane ground. I don't see a filter on the power feed to that GS2 VFD?Do you have one? The Automati

One question I had when wiring up the system is I connected the west amp servo cable _shield_ to the backpanel. Which is also where the VFD is attached and pretty much everything else would be grounded to that as well. I was concerned about noise with that... Should I have attached that to 0Vdc.
