Cable Installation Recommendations
Shield Connection
Cable shielding must be properly grounded to ensure signal quality and interference resistance. Grounding on the machine side is recommended.
Bend Radius
Avoid excessive cable bending. For moving applications, observe minimum bend radius requirements.
Routing Planning
Cables should be kept away from power cables and high-frequency interference sources. Use separate cable ducts when necessary.
Note
If the controller does not use supply voltage feedback lines, lines 1 and 7 as well as lines 8 and 10 can be interconnected to support longer cable lengths. Pins 4 and 10 are interconnected on the AMS side.
