Shielding guidelines
As a general rule, Minarik recommends shielding of all conductors.
If it is not practical to shield power conductors, Minarik
recommends shielding all logic-level leads. If shielding logic leads
is not practical, the user should twist all logic leads with themselves
to minimize induced noise.
It may be necessary to earth ground the shielded cable. If noise is
produced by devices other than the drive, ground the shield at the
drive end. If noise is generated by a device on the drive, ground
the shield at the end away from the drive. Do not ground both ends
of the shield.
If the drive continues to pick up noise after grounding the shield, it
may be necessary to add AC line filtering devices, or to mount the
drive in a less noisy environment.
Warning
Under no circumstances should power and logic leads be
bundled together. Induced voltage can cause unpredictable
behavior in any electronic device, including motor controls.
