The cables of the analog and digital inputs and outputs must be shielded. If
short (up to 200 mm), unshielded cables are used, they must be twisted.
l In case of the analog cables the shield must be connected to one side of
the controller.
l In unfavorable conditions (very long cable, high interferences) it is possible
in case of analog cables to connect one shield end to PE via a capacitor
(e.g. 10 nF/250 V) to have a better shielding effect (see sketch).
l In case of digital cables the shield must be connected to both sides.
l The shields of the control cables must have a minimum distance of 50 mm
to the shield connections of the motor cables and DC cables.

l Only use mounting plates with electrically conductive surface (zinc-coated
or V2A).
l Varnished mounting plates are unsuitable, even if the varnish is removed
from the contact surfaces.
l When using several mounting plates, make a conductive connection over a
large surface (e.g. using grounding strips).
l Connect the controller and RFI filter to the grounded mounting plate with a
surface as large as possible.
l No DIN rail mounting!
