9.5 Information about Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Cable Routing
Avoid, where possible, routing unshielded cables, connected to the drive line-up, in the
immediate vicinity of noise sources, e.g. transformers. Signal lines (shielded and unshielded)
connected to the drive line-up, must be routed as far as possible away from strong external
magnetic fields (e.g. transformers, line reactors). In both cases, a distance of ≥ 300 mm is
usually sufficient.
Signal and DC power supply cables
Operating unshielded signal and direct current supply cables (e.g. 24 V infeed with external
supply):
• Direct current supply cables: Max. permissible length: 10 m
• Unshielded signal cables: Max. permissible length: 30 m (without additional wiring)
For greater lengths, suitable wiring must be connected by the user to provide overvoltage
protection. For example:
