Installation in the control cabinet

We recommend installing the control electronics and the power electronics spatially separated in two metallic control cabinets. Both control cabinets should be connected to the ground potential with low-resistance, in order to ensure maximum interference immunity. A metallic cable duct between the two control cabinets mounted near the floor ensures that potential equalization can take place between them. If only one control cabinet is feasible, ensure that components susceptible to interference are shielded from strong interference emitters through a low-resistance grounded metallic partition.

Potential equalization!

System-wide safety can only be ensured if all drivetrain components are on the same potential. Please refer to section: “Potential equalization” of this documentation.

Installing the AX5000

The AX5000 (1) must be installed on a metallic mounting plate (3) with four M6 threaded screws (2). The mounting plate must be connected to the metallic control cabinet via a low-resistance connection. If the mounting plate (3) is painted, remove the paint in the area where the AX5000 (4) is connected.

Earthing bolt!

If painted mounting plates are used, the servo drive can be earthed with the earthing bolt and an earthing strap at a painted point of the mounting plate.
