Build and Route the Cables
Knowledgeable cable routing and careful cable construction improves system
performance.
Build and install cables as described in these steps.
1.
Keep wire lengths as short as physically possible.
2.
Route noise sensitive wiring (encoder, serial, I/O) away from input power
and motor power wiring.
3.
Separate cables by 0.3 m (1 ft) minimum for every 9 m (30 ft) of parallel run.
4.
Ground both ends of the encoder cable shield and twist the signal wire pairs
to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other equipment.
ATTENTION
If any shield on a power cable is not grounded, high voltage can be present on
that shield.
Make sure there is a connection to ground for all shield wires inside a power
cable, and for the overall power cable shield.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
