If the control wiring is to leave the enclosure, it must be shielded and the shield(s)
clamped to the drive using the grounding bracket as shown in Figure 5-7. Remove the
outer insulating cover of the cable to ensure the shield(s) make contact with the bracket,
but keep the shield(s) intact until as close as possible to the terminals
Alternatively, wiring may be passed through a ferrite ring, part no. 3225-1004.

Encoder mounting methods
There are three methods for mounting an encoder onto a motor:
1.
Galvanic isolation between encoder and motor
2.
Galvanic isolation between encoder circuit and encoder body
3.
No Isolation
