If a simplified wiring is required, the following shielding priority can be applied:
1. Shield the motor cables, which are the main high-frequency noise source.
2. Shield the feedback signals, which are sensitive signals usually coming from the motor housing.
3. Shield I/O signals and communication cables.
The
clamp has to be selected according to the shielded cable diameter
,
ensuring a good support and
connection
between the cable shield and the clamp. Following examples are only suggested for conceptual
purpose:
Cable Clamp, P-Type Silver Fastener 0.625" (15.88 mm)
Keystone Electronics 8107
Cable Clamp, P-Type Silver Fastener 0.187" (4.75 mm)
Keystone Electronics 8100
Cable Clamp, Saddle Type Stainless Steel 20 mm
RS Pro 471-1300

Part number
7.2 Power supply
The Nix Servo Drive is supplied from the Supply and shunt connector, and has
separated supply inputs for the
logic and the power stage (only required for NIX-5/170-y-z)
. An internal DC/DC converter provides circuits with
appropriate voltages as well as a regulated 5 V output voltage to supply feedback sensors and I/O.
The Nix can be powered from USB for configuration purposes without the need of an external power supply. An
internal switch automatically chooses the power source prioritizing the external supply. Please note that motor will
not be powered from USB and some functionalities could be limited by the USB port current.
USB Powered Nix
When the Nix is powered
from USB,
it is not capable of driving a motor
, but communications, feedbacks
and IOs are fully functional.
Disconnection recommendations
There are no critical instructions for disconnecting the Nix. Just some recommendations:
