Safety
}
Connect equipotential bonding cables to the earth bar over as wide a surface area as
possible.
}
As short a distance as possible should be kept between the equipotential bonding cable
and signal cable.
3.1.1.4 Shielding
Interference currents must be diverted to cable shields via shield bars.
In doing so you must ensure the following:
}
Connect the shields with low impedance to the shield bar or earth bar.
}
Use cables with braided screening, with a minimum cover area of 80 %.
} When laying cables without equipotential bonding or using foil shields: Connect the
shield at one end.
} If possible, use metal or metallised plugs to connect cables for serial data transfer. Al­
ways refer to the regulations relating to the fieldbus systems.
} If the shield is not to be connected at the end of the cable, it must have no connection
to the connector housing.
} If the shield is to be connected, connect it to the shield bar at the point where the cable
enters the cabinet, without making a break in the cable. Use metal cable clamps which
cover the shield over a wide surface area. Route the shield as far as the units, but do
not connect it to the units.
Digital inputs and outputs do not need shielded cables.
However, if the connection cables have a shield, it should be connected at one end.
Analogue inputs and the incremental encoder inputs on speed monitors should always be
connected using shielded cables.
3.1.1.5 Lighting in the control cabinet
Use low interference panel lighting for inside the control cabinet.
