Chapter 4 Connect the Kinetix 5100 Drive System
Build Your Own Cables
• Connect the cable shield to the connector shells on both ends of the cable
with a complete 360° connection.
• Use twisted-pair cable whenever possible. Twist differential signals with
each other and twist single-ended signals with the appropriate ground
return.
See Build Your Own Kinetix TLP Motor Cables Installation Instructions,
publication 2090-IN048
, to attach motor-side power and feedback connector
kits to bulk cable. Also, see Kinetix 5100 Feedback Connector Kit Installation
Instructions, publication 2198-IN019
, to terminate the flying lead feedback-
cable connections.
Route Power and Signal Wiring
Be aware that when you route power and signal wires or cables on a machine or
system, radiated noise from nearby relays, transformers, and other electronic
drives can be induced into motor or encoder feedback signals, input/output
communication, or other sensitive low voltage signals. Radiated noise can cause
system faults and communication anomalies.
See Electrical Noise Reduction
on page 30 for examples of routing high and low
voltage cables in wireways. See the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise
Reference Manual, publication GMC-RM001
, for more information.
Determine the Input Power
Configuration
Before wiring input power to your Kinetix 5100 drive, you must determine the
type of input power within your facility. The drive is designed to operate with
only grounded wye input power.
This section contains examples of typical single-phase and three-phase facility
input power that is wired to single-phase and three-phase Kinetix 5100 drives.
The grounded power configuration lets you ground your single-phase or three-
phase power at a neutral point. Match your secondary to one of the examples and
be certain to include the grounded neutral connection.
For Kinetix 5100 drive power specifications, see Kinetix Servo Drives
Specifications Technical Data, publication KNX-TD003
. For Kinetix 5100
drive-input wiring diagrams, see Power Wiring Examples
on page 436.
IMPORTANT Factory-made cables are designed to minimize EMI and are recommended over
hand-built cables to optimize system performance.
