Signals in separate cables

Run analog and digital signals in separate, shielded cables. Do not mix 24 V AC/DC and
115/230 V AC signals in the same cable.
￭

Signals allowed to be run in the same cable

If the voltage of relay control signal is 48V or below, the signal can be run in the same cables
as digital input signals. The relay-controlled signals should be run as twisted pairs.
￭

Relay cable

The cable type with braided metallic screen (for example ÖLFLEX by LAPPKABEL, Germany)
is tested and approved by ABB.
￭

Control panel cable

In remote use, the cable connecting the control panel to the drive must not exceed 100 m
(330 ft). If multiple drives are connected, the total length of the panel bus must not exceed
100 m (330 ft).
The cable type tested and approved by ABB is used in control panel option kits. Suitable
cables are CAT 5e unshielded or shielded twisted pair cables.
￭

Drive composer PC tool cable

Use assistant control panel or dummy panel to connect the drive composer PC tool with
the drive. Use a USB type A (PC) - type B (control panel) cable. The maximum length of
the cable must not exceed 3 m (9.8 ft).
￭

Routing the cables

Route the motor cable away from other cable routes. Cables of several motors can be run
in parallel installed next to each other. The motor cable, input power cable and control cables
should be installed on separate trays. Avoid long parallel runs of motor cables with other
cables in order to decrease electromagnetic interference caused by the rapid changes in
the drive output voltage.
Where control cables must cross power cables, make sure they are arranged at an angle
as near to 90 degrees as possible. Do not run extra cables through the drive.
The cable trays must have good electrical bonding to each other and to the grounding
electrodes. Aluminum tray systems can be used to improve local equalizing of potential.
A diagram of the cable routing is shown below.
