Laying
Slots for the following cables are integrated on the tiles:
- 5 m power cable: 3G 1.5 mm2 + 2 x 0.75 mm2
- ZC2000-0000-00xx star distributor
- EtherCAT G cable with RJ45 to M12
- ZK1096‑8191-0xxx
- EtherCAT G cable with M12 to M12
- ZK1096-8181-0xxx
You may shorten the tube or the power cables, but not the EtherCAT cable. Route the power cable in a protected manner so that it is not exposed to external damage. Make sure that the cables lie in a position where they are protected against moving machine parts and their acceleration forces. Beckhoff recommends "fixed installation", because the cable is not suitable for drag chains. Observe the specified bending radii for a fixed or occasionally moved power cable shown in the table below:
Laying | Min. bending radius |
|---|---|
Power cable | |
Fixed | 5 x cable diameter |
EtherCAT G cable | |
Fixed | 4 x cable diameter |
Occasionally moved | 8 x cable diameter |
