8.3.10.2 Preparing the motor connection cable
Overview
Motors are connected to a Motor Module using a motor connection cable with a connection
plug. We recommend that you use a completely prefabricated MOTION-CONNECT power cable.
If you are using a power cable or a MOTION-CONNECT power cable that has not yet been
completely prefabricated, then you must rst fabricate the motor connection cable.
Requirement
NOTICE
Adherence to core and stripped lengths
If the specied core and stripped lengths are not complied with, single cores can be damaged
or shield contact prevented.
• Comply with the specied core and stripped lengths.
It is not possible to self-assemble motor connection cables having a core cross-section of
10mm
2
. In this case, use pre-assembled MOTION-CONNECT power cables.
