Chapter 2 Plan the Kinetix 5700 Drive System Installation
System Design Guidelines Use the information in this section when designing your enclosure and
planning to mount your system components on the panel.

System Mounting Requirements
• To comply with UL and CE requirements, the Kinetix 5700 drive
systems must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering
protection as defined in standard EN 60529 (IEC 529) to IP54 such
that they are not accessible to an operator or unskilled person. A NEMA
4X enclosure exceeds these requirements providing protection to IP66.
• The panel you install inside the enclosure for mounting your system
components must be on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that won’t be
subjected to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive
vapors in accordance with pollution degree 2 (EN 61800-5-1) because
the product is rated to protection class IP20 (EN 60529).
• Size the system enclosure so as not to exceed the maximum ambient
temperature rating. Consider heat dissipation specifications for all
system components.
• Combined motor power cable length for all axes on the same DC bus
must not exceed 400 m (1312 ft). Drive-to-motor cables must not
exceed 90 m (295 ft), depending on the feedback type.
• Ethernet cable must be shielded and cables connecting drive-to-drive,
drive-to-controller, or drive-to-switch must not exceed 100 m (328 ft).
• Registration and digital input cables greater than 30 m (98.4 ft) must be
shielded.
• Segregate input power wiring from control wiring and motor cables.
• Use high-frequency (HF) bonding techniques to connect the modules,
enclosure, machine frame, and motor housing, and to provide a low-
impedance return path for high-frequency (HF) energy and reduce
electrical noise.
Bond DC-bus power supply, inverter module, iTRAK power supply,
capacitor module, and line filter grounding screws by using a braided
ground strap as shown in
Figure 62 on page 99 .
Refer to the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual,
publication
GMC-RM001 , to better understand the concept of electrical noise
reduction.
IMPORTANT System performance was tested at these cable length specifications.
These limitations also apply when meeting CE requirements.
