Connecting the control cables
Connect the control cables as described below. Connect the conductors to the
appropriate detachable terminals of the RMIO board (refer to chapter Motor control
and I/O board (RMIO)). Tighten the screws to secure the connection.
Connecting the shield wires at RMIO board
Single shielded cable:
Twist the grounding wires of the outer shield and connect
them to the nearest grounding clamp. Double shielded cable
: Connect the inner
shields and the grounding wires of the outer shield to the nearest grounding clamp.
Do not connect shields of different cables to the same grounding clamp.
Leave the other end of the shield unconnected or ground it indirectly via a few
nanofarads high-frequency capacitor (e.g. 3.3 nF / 630 V). The shield can also be
grounded directly at both ends if they are in the same ground line with no significant
voltage drop between the end points.
Keep the signal wire pairs twisted as close to the terminals as possible. Twisting the
wire with its return wire reduces disturbances caused by inductive coupling.
Securing the control cables mechanically
Use strain relief clamps as shown above. Fasten the control cables together and to
the drive frame with cable ties as shown in section Routing the control/signal cables
inside the cubicle.
