12.6.4
Overvoltage protection
Surge arresters are required for cable lengths > 30 m.
The following Weidmüller surge arresters are recommended for protecting the 24 V power
supply of the components and the 24 V signal cables against overvoltage:

The overvoltage protection components must always be placed next to the area to be
protected, e.g. at the entry point to the control cabinet. All 24 V cables which exit the
protected area must be routed through an overvoltage protection element.
The diagram below uses a CU320-2 DP as an example to show how the overvoltage
protection components are connected.
