Chapter 2 Planning the Kinetix 5500 Drive System Installation
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.
• 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
Table 5 on page 27 for
specifications by frame size.
• Ethernet cable lengths 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.
Bond drive, capacitor module, and line filter grounding screws by using a
braided ground strap as shown in
Figure 39 on page 73 .
Refer to the System Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual,
publication
GMC-RM001 , to better understand the concept of electrical noise
reduction.
IMPORTANT System performance was tested at these cable length specifications.
These limitations also apply when meeting CE requirements.
