Page 12: Emergency Stop
3.3 Emergency Stop 3.3.0 The Nexus BB data transmission system is used for transparent transmission of safety-relevant signals. These signals must be generated by a higher-level component. Suitable safety components must be used to guarantee the emergency-stop function. The emergency stop must be implemented using safety equipment provided by the customer and depends on the nature of the power supply.
Page 13: Section 4 - Overview
4.0.0 Nexus BB uses the Powerline Networking technology to send Ethernet data through electrified physical layers (i.e. conductor bar, cable reel, festoon, slip ring) to turn them into a data transmission network. The data transfer is realized between the Nexus BB modems located on the front end of the physical layer.

Page 22: Section 6 - Installation
• Material Handling 6.2 Installation Overview NOTE: • Both the AC and DC versions of the Nexus BB are able to be mounted on a DIN rail. 6.2.0 The Nexus BB has multiple configurations of how to set it up during the installation process.
Page 23: Electromagnetic Compatibility (Emc)
6.4.0 As with other signal or data circuits, Nexus BB is susceptible to noise interference from other sources or other Nexus BB systems. 6.4.1 It’s important to take steps to prevent any noise from coupling into the Nexus BB circuit. There are 3 main methods for reducing the noise induced by other high-frequency sources.
Page 24: Distances Between Cables With Different Classes
6.5.0 Reduce the amplitude of the noise voltage from adjacent “noisy” cables. This could be achieved by the use and proper installation of ferrite rings and/or EMI/EMC filters. 6.5.1 As Nexus BB could be considered a “noisy” power cable itself, it is important to follow this recommendation for other communication or data cables, EMI sensitive equipment, and other Nexus BB systems.
Page 25: Installation Recommendations
EMI sources. 6.6.1 When using Nexus BB with the conductor rail as a medium of transport, it is best to place the stationary components near the power source of the conductor rails and the mobile components near the collector shoes. This will reduce signal loss and prevent noise interference by using the least amount of cable possible.
Page 26: Multiple Nexus Bb Systems (Domains)
6.7 Multiple Nexus BB Systems (domains) 6.7.0 Currently, Nexus BB can only support up to 6 concurrent domains in one building or one vicinity. Additional domains would require engineering review. The different Nexus BB domains are fed by the same transformer, then it is considered to be in the same building or vicinity.
Page 27: Emc/Emi Installation Requirements
SECTION 6 - INSTALLATION NOTE: • It is important to keep the filtered side of the power cables that carry the Nexus BB signal (dotted lines in Figure: 6-9) as short as possible. 6.7.4 Figure: 6-9 shows an example of the recommended way of installing the Nexus BB components when there are adjacent Nexus BB domains.
Page 28 6.8.3 Panel layout considerations 6.8.3.1 A separate metal enclosure should be used where possible to house the Nexus BB modem and filter. 6.8.3.2 Wire/cable sets on the load side of the filter should be separated as much as possible from the line side.
Page 29: Equipment Operation
6.8.4.2 The following cable shielding requirements/guidelines should be followed. • Motor drive input and output cables should be shielded if they are within 3ft (1 m) proximity of Nexus BB cables. • If motor drive input or output cables run parallel to Nexus BB power-line cables, they MUST be shielded cable.
