ACS 300 User’s Manual 23
Chapter 4 - Control Connections
The ACS 300 can be controlled by the ACS 300 Control Panel or 
by external control signals connected to the terminal block X1 of 
the control card. Serial communication interface is available as 
an option.
Control Cables
The ACS 300 control cables should be 0.5 to 1.0 mm
2
 screened, 
multi-core cables.
Note! The control connections of ACS 300 are galvanically 
isolated from the mains but not from the frame earth. This is the 
factory default setting. The floating I/O is possible by cutting the
0 ohm resistor R191.
EMC
To suppress the radiated RFI emission below the limits mandated 
by the EMC Directive, it is important to clamp the control cable at 
the entry point, see Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5. Make it certain 
that the screen of the cable makes a solid contact to both parts of 
the clamp. Leave the individual unscreened wire loops between 
the clamp and the screw terminals as short as possible. Route 
the control cable away from the motor cable. Control cables must 
be multi-core cables with braid shield.
