3.7 Install field bus
When installing the connection, make sure that the control and signal cables
(0 - 10 V, 4 - 20 mA, 24 VDC, etc.), as well as the field bus system‘s (Ether-
CAT) connection cables, are not routed directly parallel to mains connection
or motor connection cables conveying power.
With parallel cable routing, the clearances between control, signal and field
bus cables
②
and energy-carrying mains and motor cables
①
must be
greater than 30 cm. Cables should always intersect at right angles.

②
and
mains/motor cables
①
If the system requires a parallel routing in cable ducts, a partition must be
installed between the field bus cable
②
and the mains and motor cable
①
,
in order to prevent electromagnetic interference on the field bus.

Never lay the cable of a field bus system directly parallel to the
energy carrying cables.
→
In all cases only use approved EtherCAT cables.
