3.1.2 Countermeasures against Noise 

image.png

Since the Drive uses microprocessors, it may be affected by switching noise from peripheral devices.
To prevent the noise from the Drive or the peripheral devices from causing malfunctions of any devices, take the following countermeasures against noise as required.
 Install the input reference device and Noise Filter as close to the Drive as possible.
 Always install a Surge Absorber for relays, solenoids, and Magnetic Contactor coils.
 Never place the following cables in the same duct or bundle them together. Also, separate the cables from each other by at least 30 cm.
- Main Circuit Cables and I/O Signal Cables
- Main Circuit Cables and Encoder Cables
 Never share the power supply with an electric welder or electrical discharge machine. If the Drive is placed near a high-frequency generator, install Noise Filters on the input side on the Main Circuit Power Supply Cable and Control Power Supply Cable even if the same power supply is not shared with the high-frequency generator. Refer to the section Noise Filters for information on connecting Noise Filters.
 Implement suitable grounding measures. Refer to the section 3.1.4 Grounding for information on grounding measures.

Noise Filters
You must attach Noise Filters in appropriate places to protect the Drive from the adverse effects of noise. Figure 3-1 is an example of wiring for countermeasures against noise.

Noise Filter Wiring and Connection Precautions
Always observe the following precautions when wiring or connecting Noise Filters.
 Separate input lines from output lines. Do not place input lines and output lines in the same duct or bundle them together.

 Separate the Noise Filter ground wire from the output lines. Do not place the Noise Filter ground wire, output lines, and other signal lines in the same duct or bundle them together. 

image.png

 Connect the Noise Filter ground wire directly to the grounding plate. Do not connect the Noise Filter ground wire to other ground wires

image.png

 If a Noise Filter is located inside a control panel, first connect the Noise Filter ground wire and the ground wires from other devices inside the control panel to the grounding plate for the control panel, then ground the plate.

3.1.4 Grounding
Implement grounding measures as described in this section. Implementing suitable grounding measures will also help prevent malfunctions, which can be caused by noise. Always use an unpainted backplane for electrical cabinets.
Observe the following precautions when wiring the ground cable.
 Ground the Drive to a resistance of 100 mΩ or less.
 Be sure to ground at one point only.
 Ground the Motor directly if the Motor is insulated from the machine.

Motor Frame Ground or Motor Ground
If the Motor is grounded thought the machine, the switching noise current can flow from the main circuit of the Drive through the stray capacitance of the Motor. To prevent this always connect the Motor frame terminal (FG) or ground terminal (FG) of the Motor to the ground terminal on the Drive. Also, be sure to ground the ground terminal .

Noise on I/O Signal Cables
To prevent noise entering the I/O Signal Cable connect the shield of the I/O Signal Cable to the connector shell and ensure the shell is connected to ground.
If placing cables in metal conduits, ensure the conduit is connected to ground.
For all grounding, use a single grounding point.

Cable Fixing
It is recommended that all cable shields are secured with a conductive metal clamp to the ground plate.
For example:

Ferrite Coils
While ferrite coils can be used to solve application specific EMC issues, they should not be necessary for applications.

3.4.3 Wiring Procedure
Prepare the following items before preparing the wiring for the Main Circuit Terminals and Control Circuit Terminals. 

image.png

Follow the procedure below to wire the Main Circuit Terminals and Control Circuit Terminals.
Step 1 Remove the Main Circuit Terminals and Control Circuit Terminals from the Drive.

image.png

 

Step 2 Peel off the sheath so that the conductor portion of the cable will protrude from the tip of the ferrule.

image.png

 

Step 3 Insert the cable into the ferrule (It should protrude 1 mm or more from the ferrule).

image.png

Step 4 Crimp the cable that has been inserted into the ferrule and cut off the cable conductor portion protruding from the ferrule (The allowable protruding length after cutting should not be more than 0.5 mm).

image.png

Step 5 Use the flat-blade screwdriver or the terminal removal tool to press down the spring button corresponding to the terminal and then insert the cable.

image.png

 

Step 6 Insert the crimped cable into the connection terminals and then pull out the tool.
Step 7 Make all other connections in the same way.
Step 8 To change the wiring, pull the cable out of the connection terminals.
Use the flat-blade screwdriver to press down the spring button corresponding to the terminal, and then gently pull out the cable.
Step 9 When you have completed wiring, attach connection terminals to the Drive.
NOTE
The above wiring procedure is also applicable to Motor Terminals.

The maximum permissible voltage and current of the optocoupler output circuit inside the servo drive are as follows:
Maximum voltage: 30 VDC
Maximum current: DC 50 mA
You can assign the output signals by Pn511. For the output signal allocation, see the section 5.7 Output Signal Allocations.


3.6.4 Holding Brake Wiring
A holding brake is used to hold the position of the moving part of the machine when the Drive is turned OFF so that the moving part does not move due to gravity or an external force.
You can use the brake that is built into a Motor with a Brake, or you can provide one on the machine. The holding brake is used in the following cases.
