Electrical Installation possible (within 20 m). In scenarios where analog signals experience severe external interference, install a filter capacitor or a ferrite core on the analog signal source. Use shielded cables together with a shield grounding bracket (optional) to achieve ●...
Electrical Installation 3. In some scenarios with large‑scale equipment, where the AC driver is far away from the motor (the motor cable may be as long as 10 m), the grounding impedance of the encoder cable shield is increased due to parasitic inductance of the cable. In this case, you can disconnect the encoder shield from the grounding (PE) terminal of the driver.
Electrical Installation 2. Analog control signal cables Use shielded twisted pair cables. Minimize the length of unshielded part of the cable (about 5 mm to 7 mm) and wrap the exposed part with insulation tape to prevent the shielded cable from coming into contact with other equipment and incurring interference.

Electrical Installation Figure 7‑45 Routing interfering cables and sensitive cables Routing cables that transmit different types of signals Arrange cables that transmit different types of signals through different routes and separate different types of signals with equipotential signals. When routing cables that transmit the same type of signals, the equipotential signal cable stays in the outer layer and equipotential signals should stay in the middle if possible, as shown in the following figure.

Electrical Installation Figure 7‑46 Routing cables that transmit different types of signals Routing multi-conductor cables For multi‑conductor cables, use one cable to transmit one type of signals. To use one cable to transmit multiple types of signals, use a cable with internal conductor shields, as shown in the following figure.

Electrical Installation If a multi‑conductor cable used to connect the equipment has any idle core wires, connect all the idle (or reserved) wires to the equipotential bonding point, as shown in the following figure. Figure 7‑48 Handling reserved core wires of multi‑conductor cables Avoiding large loop area For cables that transmit low‑level sensor signals and shared cables that transmit relay signals, lay them close to each other to avoid large loop area.

Electrical Installation Figure 7‑50 Laying multiple types of cables Handling shielded cables Minimize the length of the unshielded part of a shielded cable, and connect the shield to the nearest PE terminal. A long unshielded part makes signals, especially encoder signals, susceptible to interference.
