Installation notes

Observe the following notes before installation:

  • To ensure a flawless shield connection, you must use an EMC screw fitting for the cable entry of the signal cable on the motor.
  • For drives with a plug connector, connect the shield on the encoder plug.
  • Use shielded cables with twisted pair cores. Connect the shield over a wide area at both ends:
    • on the encoder in the cable gland or in the encoder plug
    • on the inverter onto the shield plate
  • Route the encoder cable separately from the power cables.
  • When using HTL encoders and an encoder cable with an open end, the conductors for motor protection, encoder tracks, and voltage supply must be twisted in pairs up to the respective terminal point:
  • The supply voltage of the encoder can be provided via a separate terminal point to the 24 V supply or, if the inverter is supported with external 24 V via terminal X5, it can be tapped there. The encoder supply via terminal X20 is not possible.
