Before You Begin
Remove all packing material from within and around the item. After unpacking, verify the
catalog number against the purchase order., and visually inspect the cable and each connector for
damage. If necessary, notify the carrier of any shipping damage immediately.
Cables are stored and shipped in a coil, and will retain this shape unless you allow the cable to
straighten itself. To straighten a cable, hang a short cable from its mid-point or lay a long cable on
the floor in a straight line. Any coiling that persists in the cable should relax within the next
24 hours. Doing this results in a cable that is easier to install.
Observe the following precautions when installing the cables in a servo system. Failure to observe
these safety notices could result in personal injury or damage to the motor and equipment.
ATTENTION: Arcing or unexpected motion can occur if the feedback, power, or brake cables are
connected or disconnected while power is applied to the drive.
Always remove power to the servo drive before connecting or disconnecting cables at the drive
or at the motor.
ATTENTION: The maximum length of cabling between the drive and the motor must not
exceed 90 m (295.5 ft), and a maximum of two extension cables may be connected between a
drive and a motor. Refer to Kinetix
® Motion Control Selection Guide, publication
,
for additional information.
ATTENTION: The examples in this publication show all the available connections, some of
which may not be appropriate for your specific installation. Refer to your drive installation or
user manual for recommended wire trim lengths, and wiring examples appropriate to your
drive and motor application.
Do not connect unused wires. Unused wires may be trimmed and finished as necessary to
prevent accidental contact with other wires or wire shields, or with a ground connection.
