Power + Signal Coordination
A protected power rail with unprotected data lines still fails.

Back-door surges
RS-485, Ethernet, and analog loops can inject damaging energy into a "protected" PLC if only power is SPD-equipped.
Boundary discipline
At each LPZ boundary, list every copper circuit and assign protection.
Access control note
Door controllers and long Wiegand/OSDP runs are frequent victims—protect both PSU and data.
