3.6.1 Creating a shield connection
Using shielded cables
The following options are available for the shield connection when using shielded cables:
● A shield connection using a shielding bus supplied separately
● Shield connection via shield connecting element on the top of the SIMOTION
D4x5-2/CX32-2 housing
Using a shielding bus
If a shielding bus is used, proceed as follows:
1. Attach the cable shield to a grounded shielding bus after the cable entry point in the
cabinet. To do this, expose the cable shield of the cable.
2. Continue routing the shielded cable as far as the module, but do not make a connection
to the shield there.
Using the shield connection on the D4x5-2/CX32-2
1. Unscrew the holding clamp of the shield connection at the top of the D4x5-2/CX32-2 until
there is a space below the clamp (M3 screw, Torx T10).
2. Insert the cable. To do this, expose the cable shield first.
3. Tighten the fixing bracket so that the cable shield and cable are pressed against the
shield connection (tightening torque 0.8 Nm).
This figure shows where to attach the cables to the front panel connector and where to apply
the cable interference suppression using the shield connecting element.
