EMC Wiring Guidelines
Shielding and grounding
Tolomatic supplied cables have proper shielding and are recommended for proper installation. If
additional or alternate cables are required, shielded cables are recommended. The standard cables
provided by Tolomatic have an overall shield. To minimize EMI and ensure system reliability, all shield
drain wires from all cables should be tied to a common earth ground.
WARNING!
Thrust rod is not electrically connected to ground. The thrust rod should be earth grounded
during installation for safety when possible
Motion Control System Selection Recommendations
It is recommended that all servo drives be selected based on the following important parameters:
a) CE and UL approved system
b) Thermal switch input
c) Servo drive sizing key parameters for IMA-S
i) Peak current
ii) Voltage
iii) Peak RPM
iv) Max current switching frequency
