2.4.5.3 Wiring to Control Terminals

Control terminal connectors can be unplugged from the
drive for ease of installation, as shown in Illustration 2.10.
1. Open the contact by inserting a small screwdriver
into the slot above or below the contact, as
shown in Illustration 2.12.
2. Insert the bared control wire into the contact.
3. Remove the screwdriver to fasten the control wire
into the contact.
4. Ensure the contact is firmly established and not
loose. Loose control wiring can be the source of
equipment faults or less than optimal operation.
See 10.1 Power-dependent Specifications for control terminal
wiring sizes.
See 6 Application Set-Up Examples for typical control wiring
connections.

2.4.5.4 Using Screened Control Cables

Correct screening
The preferred method in most cases is to secure control
and serial communication cables with screening clamps
provided at both ends to ensure best possible high
frequency cable contact.
If the earth potential between the frequency converter and
the PLC is different, electric noise may occur that will
disturb the entire system. Solve this problem by fitting an
equalizing cable next to the control cable. Minimum cable
2
cross section: 16 mm .
50/60Hz ground loops
With very long control cables, ground loops may occur. To
eliminate ground loops, connect one end of the screen-to-
ground with a 100nF capacitor (keeping leads short).
Avoid EMC noise on serial communication
This terminal is connected to earth via an internal RC link.
Use twisted-pair cables to reduce interference between
conductors. The recommended method is shown below:
Alternatively, the connection to terminal 61 can be
omitted:
