2 Installation and commissioning
2.5.2 Connecting cables to the controller
Continued
Route the cables
Routing of cables shall be done in a professional way.
Separation distances can be reduced if e.g. dividers are used between cables
classes. Manufacturers of cable duct systems can provide information on how
reduced separation distances can be achieved using their specific products.
All signals that are sensitive to interference should be routed and strapped along
the right side of the controller cabinet according to the image.

Note
Any local standards and regulations concerning insulation and area must always
be complied with.
• Cables of different classes, such as signal cables and power cables, must
not be routed together as the power cables may introduce noise in the signal
cables. The greater the separation distance, the lesser the risk for interference
between the cables.
• Robot controller mains supply input cable and robot power cable should be
separated even though they belong to the same class.
• If crossing cables from different classes, cables should cross at an angle
close to 90 degrees.
• All external cables that are to be connected inside the controller must be
shielded in the chassis before entering the cabinet.
