All pulse generator cables may be run in common conduit or cable trays because these
cables include an electromagnetic shield.
Use of conduit is generally recommended instead of cable trays because protection
against physical or chemical damage is provided and, if grounded, electromagnetic
shielding is provided.
Use the following guidelines to simplify wiring of the individual cables to respective
terminal boards in the drive and to minimize the possibility of electrical noise (“cross-
talk”) between conductors in different cables.
1. Avoid excessive lengths of cable or individual conductors.
2. While preparing each cable for connection to the terminal strip, cut back and
remove the cable covering so that exposed insulated wires extend the length of the
terminal strip.
3. Locate the terminal connection point for each wire. Trim the wire to length,
allowing just enough slack to avoid the wiring being pulled taut over terminal
strips or their wiring after harnessing. All terminals should be accessible. Strip
back the insulator approximately 3/8" on each conductor.
4. Printed circuit board mounted terminal blocks have clamping type terminals for
interconnection of cables. Therefore, it is not necessary to tin and add lugs to the
wires before connection to the terminal board. The stripped wire ends are inserted
under a clamping plate, and a screw tightens the plate down over the wires,
securing the connection.
NOTE
Use caution in stripping the insulation from wires and tightening
terminals of terminal blocks. Incorrect stripping or tightening may
result in damage to equipment and/or injury to personnel.
NOTE
Do not bundle signal and power cables/wires in a common harness.
Separate power wires from signal wires as much as possible.
