High-speed Counter Wiring Diagrams
•
Input and output channels are isolated from the packaged controller. Input channels are
isolated from one another; output channels are not.
•
Shielded cable is required for high-speed input signals A, B, and Z. Use individually
shielded, twisted-pair cable (or the type recommended by the encoder manufacturer) for
lengths up to 300 m (1000 ft).
•
Route field wiring away from any other wiring and as far as possible from sources of
electrical noise, such as motors, transformers, contactors, and AC devices.
•
Routing field wiring in a grounded conduit can reduce electrical noise.
•
If field wiring must cross AC or power cables, ensure that they cross at right angles.
•
Make sure the system is properly grounded using these guidelines:
–
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such
as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from the packaged controller’s
mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are only required when the mounting surface is
non-conductive and cannot be grounded.
–
Keep the shield connection to ground as short as possible.
–
Ground the shield drain wire only at the HSC input end, except where
high-frequency noise is present.
•
To establish optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping cable as short as
possible. Locate the packaged controller as close to input devices as your application
permits.
ATTENTION:
Disconnect power before wiring the HSC removable terminal block. This includes
sensor and packaged controller power.
IMPORTANT
ATTENTION:
In environments where high-frequency noise may be present, it may be
necessary to directly ground cable shields to earth at the removable terminal block end and via
a 0.1μF capacitor at the sensor end.
