A.4
Assembling cables
Description
Cables are important components of a servo drive system. They are essential to the stable and
reliable operation of the system.
Siemens recommends that you use Siemens cable assemblies and connectors. All Siemens
cable assemblies and connectors are tested and compliant with CE standards and EMC
requirements. If you use non-Siemens cable assemblies, for example, cables made by
yourself or third-party cables, Siemens does not guarantee that the servo drive system meets
CE standards. In this case, if the drive system is required to be operated in a CE-compliant
environment, you should reapply for the certification.
Siemens does not provide any guarantee or warranty regarding the functionality, reliability or
quality of non-Siemens cables used with the S200 servo drive system, and is not responsible
for device (e.g. motor and converter) damages due to use with non-Siemens cables.
Siemens allows you to assemble your own cables in case that, for example, cables of
special length are needed; therefore, Siemens provides instructions for assembling cables
and connectors. Siemens does not guarantee that your cables meet CE standards and EMC
requirements.
When assembling the cables, observe the following instructions:
• The assembly must be performed by qualified personnel.
• Prepare appropriate tools, raw cables, and Siemens connectors.
• To avoid splaying or fraying of the strands, strip the wires squarely and evenly.
• To avoid short-circuiting between wires and unused pins on the connector, cover the unused
pins with heat-shrinkable tubes.
