Chapter 2 Plan the Kinetix 6000 Drive System Installation
System Design Guidelines
Use the information in this section when designing your enclosure and
planning to mount your system components on the panel.

System Mounting Requirements
• To comply with UL and CE requirements, the Kinetix 6000 drive
system must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering
protection as defined in standard EN 60529 (IEC 529) to IP54 such
that they are not accessible to an operator or unskilled person. A NEMA
4X enclosure exceeds these requirements providing protection to IP66.
• The panel you install inside the enclosure for mounting your system
components must be on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that won’t be
subjected to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive
vapors.
• Size the drive enclosure so as not to exceed the maximum ambient
temperature rating. Consider heat dissipation specifications for all drive
components.
• Combined motor power cable lengths for all axes and hybrid cable
lengths for all IDM units on the same DC bus must not exceed 240 m
(787 ft) with 400V-class systems or 160 m (525 ft) with 200V-class
systems. Drive-to-motor power cables must not exceed 90 m (295.5 ft).
• Segregate input power wiring and motor power cables from control
wiring and motor feedback cables. Use shielded cable for power wiring
and provide a grounded 360° clamp termination.
• Use high-frequency (HF) bonding techniques to connect the modules,
enclosure, machine frame, and motor housing, and to provide a low-
impedance return path for high-frequency (HF) energy and reduce
electrical noise.
Refer to the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual,
publication GMC-RM001
, to better understand the concept of electrical noise
reduction.
IMPORTANT System performance was tested at these cable length specifications.
These limitations also apply when meeting CE requirements.
