See the
Hardware Manual
of the drive for cable routing
information.
Arrange the bus cables as far away from the motor
cables as possible. Avoid parallel runs. Use bushings at
cable entries.
The terminal block (X1) on the RMBA-01 is of the
detachable type for easy connection.
The Modbus cable shield may be directly earthed at
one node only. At other nodes, the cable shield should
be earthed via an RC circuit.
