Minimizing Noise For Emc/Ce Compliance - Advantech Automation1 XC4 Hardware Manual

XC4 Hardware Manual
2.1.4. Minimizing Noise for EMC/CE Compliance
IMPORTANT: The XC4 is a component designed to be integrated with other electronics.
EMC testing must be conducted on the final product configuration.
To reduce electrical noise, observe the following motor feedback and input power wiring techniques.
1. Use shielded cable for motor and feedback connectors. Connect the shield to the backshell at
each end of the cable.
2. Separate motor and power wiring from encoder and I/O wiring.
3. Mount drives, power supplies, and filter components on a conductive panel.Mount line filters
close to the drive to keep the wire length between the drive and filter to a minimum. Use a line fil-
ter, such as Aerotech's UFM-ST, on the Motor Supply and Control Supply AC inputs.
4. Use the lowest motor voltage required by the application to reduce radiated emission.
5. Use an isolation transformer with grounded secondary to keep the effects of high frequency
PWM amplifier currents to a minimum.
6. Use a separate wire for each ground connection to the drive. Use the shortest possible wire
length.
The following additional changes could be required for EMC compliance and are recommended during
initial EMC system evaluation.
1. Add a clamp-on ferrite to the feedback cable close to the drive.

2. Add a clamp-on ferrite to the Motor Supply and Control Supply wires, including the ground wire,
close to the drive.

3. Add a ferrite core to the UFM-ST AC input wires. Wrap the AC wires and ground wire around the
core one time.

4. Add a ferrite core to the motor phase and ground wires close to the drive. Wrap all four wires
around the ferrite core once. Remove ferrite beads from Aerotech supplied cables if installed.
[Ferrite core: Aerotech PN ECZ02349, Fair-rite PN 2646626402]
5. Install a motor filter module MFM10-1 close to the drive. The ferrite core that you added to the
motor phase and ground wires should be located between the drive and the MFM10-1.
