Shielding
ƒ Connect the motor cable shield to the axis module
– with the ECSZS000X0B shield mounting kit.
– to the mounting plate below the axis module with a large surface.
– Recommendation: For the shield connection, use ground clamps on bare metal
mounting surfaces.
ƒ If contactors, motor−protecting switches or terminals are located in the motor cable:
– Connect the shields of the connected cables and connect the shields to the
mounting plate, too, with a surface as large as possible.
ƒ Connect the shield in the motor terminal box or on the motor housing to PE:
– Metal glands at the motor terminal box ensure a large−surface connection of the
shield and the motor housing.
ƒ Shield the control cables:
– Connect both shield ends of the digital control cables.
– Connect one shield end of the analog control cables.
– Always connect the shields to the shield connection at the axis module over the
shortest possible distance.
ƒ Using the axis modules in residential areas:
– Additionally dampen the shield in order to limit the interfering radiation: ³10 dB .
This can be implemented by using standard, closed, metallic, and earthed control
cabinets or boxes.
Earthing
ƒ Earth all metallically conductive components (e. g. power supply module, capacitor
module, axis module, RFI filter, motor filter, mains choke) using suitable cables
connected to a central point (PE bar).
ƒ Maintain the minimum cross−sections prescribed in the safety regulations:
– For the EMC, not the cable cross−section is important, but the cable surface and the
contact surface which should be as large as possible.
