7.8 Installation requirements with regard to EMC
In order to have EMC-compliant and problem-free use within the framework of the legis-
lation, the following aspects must be taken into account.
In case of any questions, please contact Sales or the Applications department of
Baumüller Nürnberg GmbH.
m Only use Baumüller motor cables and Baumüller components.
m Use suitable mains filters recommended by Baumüller Nürnberg GmbH.
m Mount all components on a single mounting plate with a continuously good electrically-
conductive surface (e.g. galvanized steel plate).
m Keep the ground connection device/ground plate as short as possible (< 30 cm), using
fine-stranded cables with a large cross section (>10 mm²).
m When installing, be sure to follow the correct sequence:
electrical mains - fuse - filter - choke - (ferrite core) - b maXX 5000 - (motor filter) - mo-
tor.
m Ensure that the motor cable is continuous, without interruption.
Do not interrupt motor cables with terminals, contactors or fuses, for example.
m If possible route the cables on the surface of the grounded mounting plate
(i. e. the least effective antenna height).
m When routing in parallel, minimum clearance of 20 cm should be observed between
signal and control cables vis-à-vis the power cables.
m Cables of different EMC categories (e.g. signal cables - mains cables and/or motor ca-
bles) should be crossed at a 90 ° angle.
m Contact the major cable shield when laying cables through walls, which separate dif-
ferent EMC areas
m Contact all the cable’s shields on both sides surface-to-surface and also well-conduc-
tive with ground, see ZShielding plan side-by-side mounted system– as from page
139.
NOTE!
The emission of radio frequency interference (RFI) is to a great extent dependent on
the wiring, spatial expansiveness and the arrangement of the components in the sys-
tem. Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility compliance in accordance with legal re-
quirements is therefore only possible on the completely assembled system and is
thus the responsibility of the system manufacturer or proprietor (Section 9 of the
EMVG §6; European EMC law).
NOTE!
The important information on EMC-compliant installation can be found in these in-
struction handbook. Additional notes on building a CE-compliant system, that are im-
perative to take heed of, can be found in the Baumüller manual „Filters“, 5.09010.
