Ground Shielded Signal Wires within a Power Cable

Always connect the shield on any signal wire pair routed inside a power cable to the overall
machine ground.

If you are installing a 2090-XXNPMF-

xxSxx or 2090-CPBM4DF-xxAFxx power cable, loop

the signal wire pairs to the overall cable shield as shown in

. Then clamp all of the shields together in the power cable (chassis)

ground connection on the drive.

Grounding of Signal Wire Shields in a Power Cable

The signal wire pairs within a power cable often carry a 24V DC brake signal, but can also carry
logic signals. Grounding the shield that surrounds the signal wires dissipates an induced voltage
and reduces the effects of EMI.

All power and signal wire shields must connect to machine
ground.

The diagram shows one of the two signal wires in the correct
position. Connect both signal wire shields and the overall
power cable shield to machine ground.

2090-XXNPMF-

xxSxx (shown) contains two signal wire pairs.

2090-CPBM4DF-

xxAFxx contains one signal wire pair.
