Installation Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Follow the instructions in the following chapters to perform an EMC-compliant installa- tion. NOTICE! Drive electronics with qualified limit values in accordance with EN-61800-3: Category C2 can cause radio interference in residential areas. For these drive electronics, take additional measures to limit the spread of radio inter- ference.
Page 66
Installation Parasitic current usually arises from the following components: Semiconductors Capacitive portion of the motor supply line Parasitic elements in the motor Operating the motors with PWM is the cause here. The DC-DC converter in the device and the used switching power supply also produce inter- ference that could affect the mains.
Installation 4.3.2 Functional earthing DANGER! Danger to life through ground leakage currents ≥3.5 mA Check the earthing of the devices for proper installation. The earthing system is essential for discharging parasitic current and for a potential distri- bution in the system that is as uniform as possible. The most efficient systems have a star or mesh shape.

Installation 4.3.4 Shielding Shield cables in all cases. Shield cables that are longer than 3 m with tightly meshed copper braiding. Shield all supply lines according to current guidelines/standards (e.g., IPC-A-620B) and connect using (round) shield clamp. In special cases (e.g., with pigtail) or after qualification, the shield can be omitted for the following cables: Cables with length <50 cm ...
Installation 4.3.4.1 Establishing the shield connection The best results when establishing a shield connection on the cable are achieved in the fol- lowing way: Fig. 30: Motor cable shield connection Outer cable shield Heat-shrink tubing Braided shield Crimp-sleeve Shield clamp 1.
Installation 4.3.4.2 Establishing shield connection with cable lug A shield connection with cable lug should be avoided whenever possible. If it is necessary, however, the connection should be established as follows. Fig. 31: Shield connection with cable lug Screw Lock washer Wall Spring washer Wire eyelet...
Various solutions for different cable lengths are described in chap. 4.2.2, p. 58. The objec- tive here should be to increase the signal quality to a reliably usable minimum. The sensor systems used at FAULHABER for angle determination should be divided according to their useful frequency range. Depending on the frequency range, various filter measures are suitable.
Input-side filters: filters on the power supply side Motor-side filters: filters that are connected between controller and motor in the motor phases EFS 3004 6501.00367 Fig. 33: Filter categories from FAULHABER 1st edition, 12.02.2021 7000.05071, 1st edition, 12.02.20217000.05071...
Installation 4.3.6.1 EMC-compliant mounting of the Motion Controller with motherboard The setup in Fig. 34 shows the assembly of a Motion Controller with motherboard. Each of the cable shields is connected to earth potential with low impedance using a shield clamp. Metallisations on screw connections on the PCB must also be connected to earth potential with low impedance (e.g., conductive base plate).
DC power supply 4.3.6.5 Insulation resistance The filters from FAULHABER are not intended for an insulation resistance test. Discharging of the common-mode interference with capacitors prevents a meaningful result from an insulation resistance test.
Installation 4.3.7 Error avoidance and troubleshooting 1. Can the problem clearly be traced back to the FAULHABER drive system? a) Switch the output stage off and on. The voltage controller mode is suitable here. b) Unplug controller supply voltages or operate controller via a separate external power supply used solely for this purpose.
