Re: J1939-11 physical connection on IEC terminal blocks?

The DIN rail would be the only place the shield is connected to the chassis
- that is the idea. All signals and other system shields also connect in
this cabinet.  Unless the node modules connect their shields to the case?
Is there a standard for that?

Thanks for the input!
