Connecting the Kinetix 2000 Drive System
Building Your Own Cables
• Connect the cable shield to the connector shells on both ends of the cable
with a complete 360° connection.
• Use a twisted pair cable whenever possible. Twist differential signals with
each other and twist single-ended signals with the appropriate ground
return.
Refer to the Kinetix Motion Control Selection Guide, publication
GMC-SG001 for low profile connector kit, drive-end (mating) connector kit,
and motor-end connector kit catalog numbers.
Routing Power and Signal Wiring
Be aware that when you route power and signal wiring on a machine or system,
radiated noise from nearby relays, transformers, and other electronic drives can
be induced into motor or encoder feedback signals, input/output
communications, or other sensitive low voltage signals. This can cause system
faults and communication problems.
Refer to Minimizing Electrical Noise on page 26 for examples of routing high
and low voltage cables in wireways, and to the System Design for Control of
Electrical Noise Reference Manual, publication GMC-RM001, for more
information.
IMPORTANT
Factory-made cables are designed to minimize EMI and are
recommended over hand-built cables to optimize system performance.
