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.

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. If one or several MDC90A capacitor modules are used, an additional module bus cable must be selected.

The connectors of the module bus cables are red and black to simplify correct installation.

  • 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 the following 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
