Shielding and cable routing
Defined ground!
The magnetic encoder system and the control
cabinet must be at the same ground potential.
Shielding/cable routing
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), observe
the following:
When ducting the cable between the sensor, controller,
and power supply, it is important to avoid going near high
voltage cables due to interferences.
Stray noise from AC harmonics (e.g. from phase angle
controls or frequency converters) are especially critical and
the cable shield offers very little protection against this.
Magnetic fields
The magnetic encoder system is a magnetically coded
system.
Ensure sufficient separation between the magnetic
encoder system and
strong external magnetic fields.
Cable routing
Do not route the cable between the magnetic encoder
system, controller and power supply near high voltage
cables (inductive stray noise is possible).
The cable must be routed tension-free.
Bending radius
For information on the permissible bending radius, see
connectors on page 45 and 46.
Cable length
The IO-Link specification recommends to limit the cable
length to 20 m. Longer cables may be used if their
construction, shielding and routing prevent noise
interference.
Observe voltage drop in cable!
The nominal voltage on the BML must not be
undercut. Each wire in the cable has a
resistance of 0.2 Ohm/m. When calculating the
drop in voltage, account for the feed and return
lines, i.e. the total resistance is 0.4 Ohm/m.
For the accessory cable resistance, see Section
10.6 on page 45 and Section 10.7 on
page 46.
