Cables of the same kind (e.g. communication cables) must not be mixed up
with cables of other types (e.g., network power cables and high-power cables).
Particularly, communication lines must be isolated at least 300 mm from power
lines for inverters, motors, and power regulators. Do not put both the
communication cables and the power cables in the same pipe or conduit.
Always use the dedicated 5-wire communication cables conforming to the
DeviceNet standard. Do not use any other cables.
Provide enough allowances in cable connections for future re-cabling for
moving, re-connecting and for when any problem occur.
Do not clamp or tie cables tightly in a bundle. Tying them firmly may apply an
excessive force to the bundle when moving and it may result in damaging the
cables. Clamp or tie the cables loosely so that you can move the cables later
for adjustment.
Do not forcefully pull the communication cable. Exerting an excessive force
on such a cable may cause disconnection or break of the cable.
Do not put heavy objects on the communication cable to prevent disconnection
or breaking the cables.
