8.1
Cabling
For cabling the tiles please refer to the chapter on electrical installa-
tion. The second part of the mechanical installation involving posi-
tioning of the movers can take place once the electrical installation
is complete.
8.2
Connection technology
All XPlanar tiles have interfaces for connecting the power cable and
inputs and outputs for EtherCAT G lines. The end of the Ether-
CAT G cable ZK1096-8191-0xxx has an RJ45 connector with the
TSB568A configuration. The end of the power cable is pre-assem-
bled with ferrules. Cables are not included in the scope of supply.
8.2.1Cables
Beckhoff cables have been tested with regard to the materials,
shielding and connection method used. They ensure proper func-
tioning and compliance with statutory regulations such as EMC and
UL. The use of other cables may lead to unexpected interference
and invalidate the warranty.
For proper application and assembly we recommend:
• Wiring in accordance with applicable regulations and standards
• Use the pre-assembled and shielded Beckhoff cables for power
and EtherCAT connections

You may shorten the tube or the power cables, but not the Ether-
CAT cable. Route the power cable in a protected manner so that it is
not exposed to external damage. Make sure that the cables lie in a
position where they are protected against moving machine parts and
their acceleration forces. Beckhoff recommends "fixed installation",
because the cable is not suitable for drag chains. Observe the spec-
ified bending radii for a fixed or occasionally moved power cable
shown in the table below:
