Electrical installation (emphasis)

1. General wiring rules

Separation of strong and weak electricity, with a distance of ≥ 200mm between the power line and the control line;

All cables must be shielded, and the shielding layer must be single ended/properly grounded;

Prohibit live wiring. Cut off the main power supply and lock it with a tag before wiring.

2. Detailed explanation of interface wiring

The overall machine interface is divided by function, including complete pin definitions and wiring diagrams:

Main power interface (X0): three-phase/single-phase mains input, distinguishing different grid connections;

24V control power supply (X4): isolated power supply, strictly prohibited from sharing ground with the main circuit;

DC bus (X7): supports multiple drivers in parallel to share the bus, and the bus cable has length and specification limitations;

Braking resistor interface (X8): default short-circuit uses built-in resistor, external braking resistor can only be connected after removing the short-circuit;

Motor interface (X9): Integrated motor power line, brake, temperature detection, cable length>25m must be equipped with motor reactor;
