(1) Ferrite core
A ferrite core has the effect of reducing radiated noise in the 30MHz to 100MHz band.
It is not required to fit ferrite cores to cables, but it is recommended to fit ferrite cores if
shield cables pulled out of the enclosure do not provide sufficient shielding effects.
It should be noted that the ferrite cores should be fitted to the cables in the position
immediately before they are pulled out of the enclosure. If the fitting position is
improper, the ferrite will not produce any effect.
(2) Noise filter (power supply line filter)
A noise filter is a component which has an effect on conducted noise.
It is not required to attach the noise filter to the power supply line except the A61PEU,
A62PEU power supply modules and some models, however, attaching it can
suppress more noise.
(The noise filter has the effect of reducing conducted noise of 10 MHz or less.)
The precautions required when installing a noise filter are described below.
• Do not bundle the wires on the input side and output side of the noise filter. When
bundled, the output side noise will be induced into the input side wires from which
the noise was filtered.
• Ground the noise filter grounding terminal to the control cabinet with the shortest
wire possible (approx. 10 cm (3.94 inch)).
