Build Your Own Cables
• Connect the cable shield to the connector shells on both ends of the cable
with a complete 360° connection.
• Use twisted-pair cable whenever possible. Twist differential signals with
each other and twist single-ended signals with the appropriate ground
return.
When using Kinetix TLP servo motors, see Build Your Own Kinetix TLP Motor
Cables Installation Instructions, publication 2090-IN048
, to attach motor-side
power and feedback connector kits to bulk cable.
When using other Allen-Bradley® servo motors and actuators compatible with
2090-CxxM7DF motor cables, see 2090-Series Circular-DIN Connector Kits,
Flange Kits, and Crimp Tools Installation Instructions, publication
2090-IN042
, to attach motor-side power and feedback connector kits to bulk
cable.
Also, see Kinetix 5100 Feedback Connector Kit Installation Instructions,
publication 2198-IN019
, to terminate the flying lead feedback-cable
connections.
Route Power and Signal Wiring
Be aware that when you route wiring on a machine or system, radiated noise
from nearby relays, transformers, and other electronic drives can be induced
into motor or encoder feedback signals, input/output communication, or
other sensitive low voltage signals. Radiated noise can cause system and
communication faults.
See Electrical Noise Reduction
on page 40 for examples of routing high and
low voltage wiring. See the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise
Reference Manual, publication GMC-RM001
, for more information.
Determine the Input Power
Configuration
Before wiring input power to your Kinetix 5100 drive, you must know the type
of input power within your facility. The drive is designed to operate with only
grounded wye input power.
This section contains examples of typical single-phase and three-phase input
power that is wired to single-phase and three-phase Kinetix 5100 drives.
The grounded power configuration lets you ground your single-phase or three-
phase power to a neutral point. When you use one of the examples, be certain
to include the grounded neutral connection.
For Kinetix 5100 drive power specifications, see Kinetix Servo Drives
Specifications Technical Data, publication KNX-TD003
. For Kinetix 5100 drive
input-wiring diagrams, see Power Wiring Examples
on page 458.
IMPORTANT
Factory-made cables are designed to minimize EMI and are
recommended over hand-built cables to optimize system performance.
