ACQ550-U1 User’s Manual 289Technical dataControl connectionsControl connection specificationsControl cablesGeneral recommendationsUse multi-core cables with a braided copper wire shield, temperature rated at 60 °C(140 °F) or above:For digital and analog I/O cables, twist the shield together into a bundle (pig-tail) notlonger than five times its width and connect it to terminal X1-1 at the drive end.Leave the other end of the cable shield unconnected.For connecting the shield wires of the RS485 cable, see the instructions (and notes)in section Mechanical and electrical installation – EFB on page 179.Route control cables to minimize radiation to the cable:• Route as far away as possible from the input power and motor cables (at least20 cm [8 in]).• Where control cables must cross power cables, make sure they are at an angleas near 90° as possible.• Stay at least 20 cm (8 in) from the sides of the drive.Use care in mixing signal types on the same cable:• Do not mix relay-controlled signals using more than 30 V and other controlsignals in the same cable.• Run relay-controlled signals as twisted pairs (especially if voltage > 48 V). Relay-controlled signals using less than 48 V can be run in the same cables as digitalinput signals.Control connection specificationsAnalog inputs andoutputsSee section Control terminals table on page 24.Digital inputs Digital input impedance 1.5 kohm.
