Grounding

The ground connection of all relevant components must be executed with the largest possible cross-section, with a low impedance, over a large area and via a short connection to a conductive fastener with a large area. The shields have to be applied with a sufficiently large contact area on both sides.

The earth connection of the AX8000 multi-axis servo system is connected via the grounding hangers and hexagonal nuts, similar to DIN 6923 with class 8 flange and serrations with a galvanized surface. These components are included with all AX8206, AX8118 and AX8108 axis modules, all AX8525 and AX8540 combination modules and the AX8810 optional module.

Use of components in a higher EMC category

The AX8000 multi-axis servo system conforms to EMC category C3 for industrial areas with respect to conducted interference emissions. If you wish to use components that conform to a higher category, you can limit the conducted interference emissions using additional filters to the extent that the EMC category C2 for residential and industrial areas is complied with.

Drive system example In this chapter, the device connection is shown using a multi-axis drive system consisting of an AX8620 power supply module and two AX8206 and AX8108 axis modules.
