Chapter 4 Connecting the Kinetix 300 Drive System
Wiring Guidelines
Use these guidelines as a reference when wiring the connectors on your
Kinetix 300 drive power modules.
Follow these steps when wiring the connectors on your Kinetix 300 drive
modules.
1. Prepare the wires for attachment to each connector plug by removing
insulation equal to the recommended strip length.
2. Route the cable/wires to your Kinetix 300 drive.
3. Insert wires into connector plugs.
See connector pinout tables in Chapter 3
or the interconnect diagrams in
Appendix A
.
4. Tighten the connector screws.
5. Gently pull on each wire to make sure it does not come out of its terminal;
reinsert and tighten any loose wires.
6. Insert the connector plug into the module connector.
For connector locations of the Kinetix 300 drives, see Kinetix 300 Drive
Connectors and Indicators on page 36.
When tightening screws to secure the wires, see the tables beginning on
page 65
for torque values.
When removing insulation from wires, see the tables beginning on page 65
for
strip lengths.
To improve system performance, run wires and cables in the wireways as
established in Establishing Noise Zones
on page 29.
Use caution not to nick, cut, or otherwise damage strands as you
remove the insulation.
