Subpanels Connected to a Single Ground Point
The system module provides terminating points for the AC power
input, logic power, feedback, and various other control signals. The
slide-and-lock mechanism transfers power and commutation signals to
each axis module.
Each individual application requires different wiring. This section
provides guidelines for wiring your system. Because of the diversity of
applications and systems, no single method of wiring is applicable in
all cases.
Connecting Ground Wires
The 1394 system module provides a grounding bar as a common
point of chassis ground for the system and axis modules, as shown in
Figure 2.9. The system module single point bond bar wires to the
bonded system ground bus on the sub-panel.
