Connecting the control cables
The default I/O connections can be different with some hardware options, see the circuit 
diagrams delivered with the drive for the actual wiring. For other control programs, see 
their firmware manuals. 
 Control cable connection procedure
WARNING! Obey the instructions in chapter Safety instructions. If you ignore 
them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur.
1. Stop the drive (if running) and do the steps in section Precautions before electrical 
work before you start the work.
2. Run the control cables into the auxiliary control cubicle (ACU) as described in section 
Grounding the outer shields of the control cables at the cabinet lead-through below.
3. Route the control cables as described in section Routing the control cables inside the 
cabinet.
4. Connect the control cables as described starting.
Grounding the outer shields of the control cables at the cabinet lead-through
Ground the outer shields of all control cables 360 degrees at the EMI conductive cushions 
as follows: 
1. Loosen the tightening screws of the EMI conductive cushions and pull the cushions 
apart.
2. Cut adequate holes to the rubber grommets in the lead-through plate and lead the 
cables through the grommets and the cushions into the cabinet. 
3. Strip off the cable plastic sheath above the lead-through plate just enough to ensure 
proper connection of the bare shield and the EMI conductive cushions. 
4. Tighten the two tightening screws so that the EMI conductive cushions press tightly 
round the bare shield.
