10 Electrical connection
10.1 General information
Detailed instructions for connecting the T12CVS8 to the CAN bus or
the PROFIBUS can be found in the “T12 CAN bus/PROFIBUS”
interface description (in pdf format) on the T12 system CD.
To make the electrical connection between the torque transducer and the
measuring amplifier, we recommend using shielded, low-capacitance
measurement cables from HBM.
With extension cables, make sure that there is a proper connection with
minimum contact resistance and good insulation. All plug connections or swivel
nuts must be fully tightened.
Do not route the measurement cables parallel to power lines and control
circuits. If this cannot be avoided (in cable pits, for example), maintain a
minimum distance of 50 cm and also draw the measurement cable into a steel
tube. Avoid transformers, motors, contactors, thyristor controls and similar
stray-field sources.
Important
Transducer connection cables from HBM with attached plugs are marked in
accordance with their intended purpose (Md or n). When cables are shortened,
inserted into cable ducts or installed in control cabinets, this marking can be
lost or hidden. If this is the case, it is essential for the cables to be re-labeled!
Information
Cables and plugs for connectors 1, 2 and 3 are compatible with torque flange
