Installation 4.1.3 Mounting with baseplate Screws and base plate are not part of the FAULHABER product portfolio and they must be provided by the user. 1. Secure the Motion Control System (1) with screws (3) to the base plate (2).
A short-term voltage peak during braking can damage the power supply or other con- nected devices. For applications with high load inertia, the FAULHABER Braking Chopper of the BC 5004 series can be used to limit overvoltages and thereby protect the power supply. For more detailed information see the data sheet for the Braking Chopper.

Installation 4.3.3 Cable routing The cable routing depends on various factors, such as: Is the cable shielded, twisted? Were interference-reducing measures taken? What material and what cable routing are used in the cable duct? Over what surface is the cable routed? Observe the following when laying the cables: ...
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. 27: 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. 28: Shield connection with cable lug Screw Lock washer Wall Spring washer Wire eyelet...
DC power supply 4.3.5.2 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 4.3.6 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.
Maintenance and diagnostics Maintenance and diagnostics Maintenance instructions NOTICE! The housing of the Motion Control System is not resistant to solvents such as alcohols or acetone. During operation and maintenance protect the housing against contact with solvents or substances containing solvents. Maintenance tasks In principle the drives are maintenance-free.
Red (continuously flashing): The drive has switched to a fault state. The output stage will be switched off or has already been switched off. Red (error code): Booting has failed. Please contact FAULHABER Support. Green (continuous light): Connection present. Device is ready for use. RUN LED EtherCAT Green (flashing): Device is in the Pre-Operational.
