Grounding

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

The shield of the AX8000 multi-axis servo system is connected via the grounding hangers and hexagonal nuts, similar to DIN 6923 with flange and serrations class 8 with the galvanized surface. These components are included in the scope of supply of all AX8206, AX8118 and AX8108 axis modules as well as AX8810 option modules.

Use of components of 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.

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