Figure 7.1 illustrates the motor power (+V) connection to two IM805
drives using a recommended IMS ISP200-7 unregulated switching power
supply. Shown are the proper wiring practices of using shielded twisted
pair wiring, with the shield tied to AC ground and the driver end left
floating. Each drive is wired to the power supply separately, rather than
daisy-chained together. Following these principles will reduce the elec-
trical noise in your system and help eliminate a major cause of erratic
system perfomance.
Please note that an AC line conditioner is also shown. This protects your
system from potential damage resulting from line spikes and surges.
