External Shield Connection on the Drive Module LXM62DC13

Presentation

1 Encoder cables

2 Ground clamp

3 Braided shield of cable

4 Motor cables

5 Bolt on the shield plate

6 Strain relief via cable ties

7 Bolt on drive module

(1) Braided shield protrusion (at least 5 mm/0.2 in)

Procedure

To mount the shield plate and to attach the motor/encoder cable, proceed as follows:

Step	Action
1	Release and remove the screw-nuts M5 on the bolts (7).
2	Fix the shield plate on the bottom side of the drive module, so that the bolts (7) are in the corresponding holes of the shielding.
3	Tighten the bolts (7) on the shield plate with the screw nuts M5 (tightening torque: 2.5 Nm / 22 lbf in).
4	Connect the motor supply cable (4) to the shield plate so that the end of the cable sheathing is located in the range of the bolt (5).
5	Place both ground clamps (2) over the cable sheathing so that the bolts (5) are located in the holes of the ground clamps. Use the larger ground clamps ESE23 for motor supply cables with a cable cross section of 10 mm². Use the smaller ground clamps ESE19 for motor supply cables with a cable cross section of 4 mm².
6	Loosely fix the motor supply cable with both screw-nuts M8 above the two ground clamps (2). Result: The motor supply cable can still be moved underneath the ground clamps.
7	Finally position the motor supply cable, so that the cable sheathing has a protrusion F to the ground clamp (2) of at least 5 mm (0.2 in.) and the braided shield of the cable (3) is positioned below the first ground clamp (2).
8	Tighten the motor supply cable with both screw nuts M8 above the two ground clamps (2) (tightening torque: 6 Nm / 53.10 lbf in).
9	Connect the encoder cable (1) to the shield plate and relief the strain by using cable ties (6).

NOTE: The external shield plate including the ground clamps, M5/M8 screw-nuts and the cable ties are included in the accessory kit "CSD-Kit-LXM62DC13SD".
