System Design Guidelines

Use the information in this section when designing your enclosure and planning
to mount your system components on the panel.

System Mounting Requirements

• To comply with UL and CE requirements, the Kinetix 5500 drive systems
must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering protection
as defined in standard EN 60529 (IEC 529) to IP54 such that they are not
accessible to an operator or unskilled person. A NEMA 4X enclosure
exceeds these requirements providing protection to IP66.
• The panel you install inside the enclosure for mounting your system
components must be on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that won't be subjected
to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive vapors in
accordance with protection class IP20 (EN 60529) and pollution degree 2
(EN 61800-5-1).
• Size the drive enclosure so as not to exceed the maximum ambient
temperature rating. Consider heat dissipation specifications for all drive
components.
• Combined motor power cable length for all axes on the same DC bus must
not exceed 250 m (820 ft). Drive-to-motor cables must not exceed 50 m
(164 ft), however use of continuous-flex cable and 2198-H2DCK
converter kit limits the maximum length. Refer to
specifications by frame size.
IMPORTANT
• Ethernet cable must be shielded and cables connecting drive-to-drive,
drive-to-controller, or drive-to-switch must not exceed 100 m (328 ft).
• Registration and digital input cables greater than 30 m (98.4 ft) must be
shielded.
• Segregate input power wiring from control wiring and motor cables.
• Use high-frequency (HF) bonding techniques to connect the modules,
enclosure, machine frame, and motor housing, and to provide a low-
impedance return path for high-frequency (HF) energy and reduce
electrical noise.

publication GMC-RM001, to better understand the concept of electrical noise
reduction.

System performance was tested at these cable length specifications.
These limitations also apply when meeting CE requirements.
