2.1.3. Minimizing Noise for EMC/CE Compliance
IMPORTANT : The XC6e is a component designed to be integrated with other electronics.
EMC testing must be conducted on the final product configuration.
To reduce electrical noise, observe the following motor feedback and input power wiring techniques.
1. Use shielded cable for motor and feedback connectors. Connect the shield to the backshell at
each end of the cable.
2. Separate motor and power wiring from encoder and I/O wiring.
3. Mount drives, power supplies, and filter components on a conductive panel. Mount line filters
close to the drive to keep the wire length between the drive and filter to a minimum. Use an AC
line filter on the Control Supply such as Schaffner FN2010-6-06 or Corcom 10VW1 or similar. Use
an AC line filter on the Motor Supply such as a Schaffner FN258-55-34.
4. Use a separate wire for each ground connection to the drive.Use the shortest possible wire
length.
The following additional changes could be required for EMC compliance and are recommended during
initial EMC system evaluation.
1. Add a clamp-on ferrite to the feedback cable close to the drive.

2. Add a clamp-on ferrite to the Control Supply wires, including the ground wire, close to the drive.
