11.3 Cable Design Guidelines
If you are designing your own cable, use the following cable design guidelines:
l
Include effective EMI shielding in the cable design.
Double-shielded twisted-pair cable is a good choice for EMI shielding as the twisted
pairs provide magnetic shielding, an inner shield grounded at the digital recorder
provides good electric field shielding, and a continuous outer shield provides good high
RF shielding.
l
Use the DGND for the return currents of the control signals (CTRL/RX and UVW/TX)
l
Use the AGND for the return currents of the analog signals (CAL_SIG and MAXIMUM
MASS POSITION).
l
Ensure the cable length is sufficient to allow for strain relief.
l
Ensure that the peak current requirement of the Trillium Compact does not result in a
voltage drop along the cable which takes the power supply voltage below the minimum
required at the Trillium Compact. See "Power specifications " on page 70 .
l
Ensure the cable is watertight.
l
Check the cable electrically after assembly. In particular, ensure that the individual and
overall shields are not shorted together unless so specified.
l
Make sure cables are labelled with correct drawing numbers and revisions.
l
Make sure the digital recorder is configured so that the default states of the control
lines put the Trillium Compact in the desired state.
