3.6 Wiring for Noise Control
3.6.1 Noise Control
The servodrive uses high-speed switching elements in the main circuit. It may receive "switching noise"from these
high-speed switching elements.
To prevent malfunction due to noise, take the following actions:
• Position the input reference device and noise filter as close to the servo drive as possible.
• Always install a surge absorber in the relay, solenoid and electromagnetic contactor coils.
• The distance between a power line (servomotor main circuit cable) and a signal line must be at least 30 cm.Do not put
the power and signal lines in the same duct or bundle them together.
• Do not share the power supply with an electric welder or electrical discharge machine. When the servo drive is placed
near a high-frequency generator, install a noise filter on the input side of the power supplyline. As for the wiring of noise
filter, refer to (1) Noise Filter shown below.
• For proper grounding technique, refer to (2) Correct Grounding.
(1) Noise Filter
Please install a noise filter in the appropriate place to protect the servo drive from external noise interference.
