Some applications may not be suitable for prefabricated cables. Cut a short cable in half, and
splice cable in between as needed for the application. Cables can be field fabricated using the
parts and tooling identified on the cable drawing. (The pneumatic bench tool can be used in the
field and is preferred over a hand-operated tool.)
0-10 VDC Motor Output
The length of the 0-10 VDC motor control cable is more limited by the line loss and the amount of
electrical noise interference. The ECM-Modbus RTU’s 0-10 VDC is rated at 10 mA. The rough
guideline for maximum cable length is 45 meters (150’) for 22 awg wire and 90 meters (300’) for
18 awg wire.
Depending on the programming of the motor, the RPM and Go signals may not be used for a 0-10
VDC controlled motor. If that the case, only the Red and Green wires of the EVO/ECM-CBL-?? are
used.
