BU 0260 GB Subject to technical amendments 21
2.2.2 Control connections
The CANopen modules must be provided with a 24V DC (±20%, 100mA) control voltage. Wire end sleeves
must be used for flexible cables.
Designation Data
Rigid cable cross-section 0.14 … 2.5mm²
Flexible cable cross-section 0.14 … 1.5mm²
AWG standard AWG 26-14
Tightening torque (for screw terminals) 0.5…0.6Nm
Within the terminal box (unshielded cable section) the data cables (e.g. CANopen, system bus) must be
installed as short as possible and of equal length. Associated data cables (e.g.: Sys+ and Sys-) must be
twisted.
NOTE
Due to the separated potential levels of the system bus and the field bus (CANopen), both
bus systems must have a separate supply (24V).
NOTE
In the customer unit, the CAN open is already installed with voltage isolation from the other
signal connections.
In case of EMC problems, voltage separation of the field bus supply, the digital inputs and
system bus interface and for the external technology unit also for the two additional digital
outputs should be provided.
NOTE The cable shielding must be connected to the functional earthing 1 (usually the
electrically conducting mounting plate) in order to prevent EMC interference in the
device.
In order to achieve this, for CANopen connections it is mandatory that the metallic metric
EMC screws are used for the connection of the CANopen shielding lead to the frequency
inverter or the housing of the technology unit. This ensures a wide area connection of the
functional earthing
.
1 In systems, electrical equipment is usually connected to a functional earth. This serves as a means to dissipate leakage
and interference currents in order to ensure EMC characteristics and must therefore be implemented according to high
frequency technology aspects.
