Our control system works on a ground vehicle and we just do experiment outside in open area. How necessary is it to connect shield ground? how about just suspend them?

"DOF" means Degree of freedom. We have use five motors in our control system. One page of datasheet attached can show the connection. Can chassis ground and earth ground connect together? The maxon recommend to connect the shield ground to chassis to maximum interference suppression. In this way, I don't know how to ground the power system. It is unsafe to suspend it. Can we also ground on the chassis? 300583_Hardware_Reference_E.pdf

hi Recently, I am designing a control system for a ground vehicle with 5 DOF. We use maxon motors and controllers and use lithium ion battery as power supply right now, I meet some problem on grounding. Is any one know the difference between shielding ground and safety ground for maxon motor? I know the safety ground is for protecting human and shielding ground is used for interference suppression. Can I connect the two ground together to share the same reference ground? As, we plan to ground the battery to the body of our vehicle for security. And now, I don't know how to ground the shield. Can I just suspend them?
