Basic Wiring Requirements
This section contains basic wiring information for the 8720MC-RPS units and
accessories.
Routing the Power and Signal Cables
Be aware that when you route power and signal wiring on a machine or system,
radiated noise from nearby relays, transformers, and other electronic devices
can be induced into I/O communication, or other sensitive low voltage signals.
This can cause system faults and communication anomalies.
• The Bulletin 2090 single motor cable contains the power, brake, and
feedback wires, but is properly shielded to protect the noise-sensitive
feedback signals.
• Separate the sequence control signal wiring from the power wiring, and
do not put both into a same duct. Also, do not route both wires in
parallel.
Refer to
and low voltage cables in wireways. Refer to the System Design for Control of
Electrical Noise Reference Manual, publication
, for more
information.
ATTENTION:
Plan the installation of your system so that you can perform all
cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with the system removed from the
enclosure. Because the system is of the open type construction, be careful to
keep metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign matter
can become lodged in the circuitry and result in damage to components.
SHOCK HAZARD:
To avoid hazard of electrical shock, perform all mounting
and wiring of the Bulletin 2198 drive modules prior to applying power. Once
power is applied, connector terminals can have voltage present even when
not in use.
IMPORTANT
This section contains common PWM servo system wiring configurations,
size, and practices that can be used in a majority of applications. National
Electrical Code, local electrical codes, special operating temperatures, duty
cycles, or system configurations take precedence over the values and
methods provided.
