Installing Your 1394 (applies to all systems)
Mounting Considerations for GMC
and GMC Turbo Systems
Publication 1394-5.0 — May 2000
Consider the following when mounting 1394 GMC and GMC Turbo
Systems.
Mounting GMC and GMC Turbo Systems Next to Flex I/O
Separating low voltage communication wiring from high voltage
power cables reduces the levels of EMI and RFI. Because high
voltage motor wiring is present at the bottom of each axis module we
recommend that you mount your Flex I/O modules to the left of the
system module.

Screw Flex I/O
connector to tapped
hole in sub panel. This
grounds flex cable shields.
Important:
You must separate low voltage I/O from
all exposed high voltage conductors to avoid
the affects of EMI and RFI.
