with regard to EMC, also observe the Project Planning Manual
on the drive system Rexroth IndraDrive. The explanations

Rules for Design of Installations with Drive Controllers in Compliance
with EMC
The following rules are the basics for designing and installing drives in
compliance with EMC.
Correctly use a mains filter recommended by Rexroth for radio
interference suppression in the supply feeder of the AC drive system.
All metal parts of the cabinet have to be connected with one another over
the largest possible surface area to establish a good electrical connection.
This, too, applies to the mounting of the EMC filter. If required, use
serrated washers which cut through the paint surface. The cabinet door
should be connected to the cabinet using the shortest possible grounding
straps.
Avoid coupling routes between lines with high potential of noise and
noise-free lines, therefore signal, mains and motor lines and power cables
have to be routed separately from another (this eliminates mutual
interference!). Minimum clearance: 10 cm. Provide separating sheets
between power and signal lines. Separating sheets have to be grounded
at several points.
Lines with high potential of noise at the drive controller are lines for the
mains supply (incl. mains synchronization), lines at the motor connection
and DC bus connections.
Generally, interference injection are reduced by routing cables close to
grounded sheet steel panels. For this reason, cables and wires should not
be routed freely in the cabinet, but close to the cabinet housing or
mounting panels. The incoming and outgoing cables of the radio
interference suppression filter have to be separated.
Contactors, relays, solenoid valves, electromechanical operating hour
counters etc. in the control cabinet must be provided with interference
suppression combinations. These combinations must be connected
directly at each coil.
Non-shielded cables belonging to the same circuit (feeder and return
cable) have to be twisted or the surface between feeder and return cable
has to be kept as small as possible. Ground cables that are not used at
both ends.
Lines of measuring systems have to be shielded. The shield has to be
connected to ground at both ends and over the largest possible surface
area. The shield may not be interrupted, e.g. using intermediate terminals.
The shields of digital signal lines have to be grounded at both ends
(transmitter and receiver) over the largest possible surface area and with
low impedance. Bad ground connection between transmitter and receiver
requires additional routing of a bonding conductor (min. 10 mm²). Braided
shields are to be preferred to foil shields.
The shields of analog signal lines generally have to be grounded at one
end (transmitter or receiver) over the largest possible surface area and
