3.11 Grounding 
 WARNING 
Ground the servo amplifier and servo motor securely. 
To prevent an electric shock, always connect the protective earth (PE) terminal 
(marked 
) of the servo amplifier to the protective earth (PE) of the cabinet. 
 
 
The servo amplifier switches the power transistor on-off to supply power to the servo motor. Depending on 
the wiring and ground cable routing, the servo amplifier may be affected by the switching noise (due to di/dt 
and dv/dt) of the transistor. To prevent such a fault, refer to the following diagram and always ground. 
To conform to the EMC Directive, refer to the EMC Installation Guidelines (IB(NA)67310).
