Wiring Rules - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

Design guidelines
Take the following measures to achieve the best possible noise immunity for the complete
system (controller, power unit and machine):
● Ensure a minimum distance of 200 mm between the signal lines and power cables.
● If necessary, signal and power cables may cross one another (if possible at an angle of
90°), but must never be laid close or parallel to one another.
● Only use cables approved by Siemens for the signal lines from and to the SIMATIC Drive
Controller.
● Signal lines must not be routed close to strong external magnetic fields (for example
motors or transformers).
● If signal lines cannot be routed a sufficient distance away, they must be installed in
grounded (metal) cable ducts.
You can find further information on interference suppression measures and the connection of
shielded cables in the EMC Design Guidelines configuration manual

Wiring rules

Use suitable cables to connect a system to the SIMATIC Drive Controller . You can find
wiring rules for the SIMATIC Drive Controller in "Wiring (Page 71)" under the relevant
interface descriptions.
You can find the wiring rules and information on connection technology for SINAMICS
components in the manuals of the SINAMICS components in question.
