6.2.4 Control cables
ƒ Control cables must be shielded to minimise interference injections.
ƒ For lengths of 200 mm and more, use only shielded cables for the analog input.
Under 200 mm, unshielded but twisted cables may be used.
ƒ For lengths of 3 m and more, use only shielded cables for digital inputs and relay
output. Under 3 m, unshielded but twisted cables may be used.
ƒ Connect the shield correctly:
– The shield connections of the control cables must be at a distance of at least 50
mm from the shield connections of the motor cables and DC cables.
– Connect the shield of digital input and output cables at both ends.
– Connect the shield of analog input and output cables at one end (at the drive
controller).
ƒ To achieve an optimum shielding effect (in case of very long cables, with high
interference) one shield end of analog input and output cables can be connected to
PE potential via a capacitor (e.g. 10 nF/250 V) (see sketch).
