Correct cabling

Module bus cable

In the case of MOVIDRIVE® modular, the 8-core module bus cable connects the power supply module to the first axis module and the axis modules to one another; see figure .

In the case of MOVIDRIVE® modular, in addition to the system bus communication, the module bus is routed in the cable for information inside the device. The module bus cable is delivered in the length required as part of the accessories for the axis modules.

The connectors of the module bus cables are red and black to simplify correct attachment of the cables; see the following figure.

  • The black connectors must be plugged into the bus input X30 IN.
  • The red connectors must be plugged into the bus output X30 OUT.

System bus cable

The 4-pole system bus cable is used between automation components; see figure  . Some of these components are listed here as examples:

  • MOVI-C® CONTROLLER
  • MOVIDRIVE® modular/system application inverter
  • PC with MOVISUITE® engineering software
  • MOVI‑PLC® I/O system
  • Other EtherCAT® stations at the EtherCAT®/SBusPLUS
