11.11.2 Motor cables, configured
The cables differ in respect of how they are connected to the amplifier. There are major dif-
ferences in connection method due to the varying requirements in respect of minimum code
distances, different shielding concepts depending on rated voltage and current load. Our pre-
assembled ready-to-use cables meet the requirements of relevant CE and UL directives.
Different conductor cross-sections are required for different motors, and that for motors with
a holding brake the brake signals are also attached through this connector.
