CHAPTER 6 – ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 106
6.10.3 Connecting the cables
IOEC modules
•Connect the cables for digital and analog input
and output signals to the IOEC modules.
Conductors
• If a twisted pair cable is used, leave the
unshielded cable ends twisted until they reach
the terminals.
• Leave unshielded conductor ends as short as
possible (not longer than 50 mm).
Cable shields
• Connect the shield of serial communications
cables to the fieldbus adapter.
• Connect the overall shield and the individual
shields of the encoder cable to the separate
shield grounding bracket (6-13: 3). Do not con-
nect the shields directly to the encoder adapter
(6-13: 1).
• To accommodate encoder cables of different
diameters, ground clamps (6-13: 2) of different
sizes are supplied.
