6.8.8. Routing Azipod® encoder cables
This section applies to Azipod® propulsion.
The number of the pulse encoders and receivers, and the location of the receivers
depend on the configuration of the drive. The receivers are installed in one of the
following units:
– CIU
– WCU
– COU
For project-specific details, see the “Converter hardware diagram” in
“Appendix D - Wiring diagrams”.
6.8.8.1. Handling and installation
The signals from the position encoders in the Azipod® to the receivers in the drive
are transmitted with fiber optics.
NOTICE Risk of equipment failure!
A damaged or incorrectly installed optical fiber cable can degrade data
transmission and cause equipment failure.
– Only use the designated encoder cable conduit that passes through
the drive to the EXU.
The conduit extends 10 – 20 mm from the entry plate of the drive.
– Cover the cable end with a cap BEFORE you pull the cable through
the conduit.
– DO NOT exceed the specified maximum tensile load and the minimum
bend radius of the optical fiber.
– When you tighten the cable ties DO NOT deform the optical fibers and
DO NOT use a cable tie gun.
– Hold the connector when you connect or disconnect an optical fiber.
