Cable Routing Practices
When wiring the ATV58 drive controllers to an Interbus-S network, follow
all wiring practices required by national and local electrical codes.
When routing cable:
• Avoid areas of high temperature, moisture, vibration, or other
mechanical stress.
• Secure the cable where necessary to prevent its weight and the weight
of other cables from pulling or twisting the cable.
• Use cable ducts, raceways, or other structures for protecting the cable.
These structures should be used for signal wiring paths and should not
contain power wiring.
• Avoid sources of electrical interference that can induce noise into the
cable. Use the maximum practicable separation from such sources.
When planning cable routing within a building, follow these guidelines:
• Maintain a minimum separation of 3.3 ft (1 m) from the following
equipment:
— air conditioners and large blowers
— elevators and escalators
— radios and televisions
— intercom and security systems
— fluorescent, incandescent, and neon lighting fixtures.
• Maintain a minimum separation of 10 ft (3 m) from the following
equipment:
— power wiring
— transformers
— generators
—alternators
When wiring in electrical equipment rooms or large electrical equipment
line-ups, observe the following guidelines for cable segregation and
separation of circuits:
• Use metallic conduit for drive controller wiring. Do not run control
network and power wiring in the same conduit.
