Basic information
2.3 Types of couplings
Direct coupling
Clocked modules
Startup of a motor
Differences in potential
Capacitive coupling (electric field)
Wires running in parallel
Static discharge
Inductive coupling (magnetic field)
Mains wires running in parallel, connected wires
Transformers, motors, etc.
Radiative coupling (electromagnetic field)
Radio transmitters (mobile telephony, citizens band radio)
Radio links (welding equipment)
2.4 Wiring basics
Wiring arrangement
Spatial separation of supply lines and signal lines
Always cross wires from individual categories at right angles
Ground unused wires on both sides
Lay wires along the reference surface as much as possible
Avoid ground loops as much as possible
Lay outgoing and return lines together along the entire length
Lay ground and power supply lines together
Lay cables in a metallic tray as close to the side walls as possible
Shielded lines
The cable shield should extend as close as possible to the end of the cable.
The cable shield should be grounded over as wide an area as possible.
The cable shield should always be grounded on both sides.
The cable shield should be grounded when routing into the control cabinet and again directly at the con-
nector.
Grounding
Good conducting connection of all conductive machine components over a wide area
Connection to ground potential dimensioned with sufficient strength (≥16 mm² to the control cabinet, ≥4
mm
2
to the products)
Centralized star-shaped grounding point (no loops)
