Who Should Use this
Manual Use this manual if you are responsible for the circuit design and
layout of wiring panels or the installation and mounting of
Allen-Bradley products. Specifically, the following disciplines should
be included:
• Circuit designers
• Panel layout designers
• Panel builders and electricians
• Electrical technicians
In addition, you should have an understanding of:
• Drive control and basic electronics
• Appropriate electrical codes
Purpose of this Manual This manual outlines the practices which minimize the possibility of
noise-related failures and that comply with noise regulations. It gives
you an overview of how electrical noise is generated (sources), how
the noise interferes with routine operation of drive equipment
(victims), and examples of how to effectively control noise.
This manual applies in general to Allen-Bradley drives products. For
information on specific Allen-Bradley motion products refer to Noise
Control Supplement - Motion Products Reference Manual (publication
GMC-RM002x-EN-P).
