234 ACS550 User’s ManualTechnical DataControl ConnectionsControl Connection SpecificationsControl CablesGeneral RecommendationsUse multi-core cables with a braided copper wire screen, temperature rated at 60 °C(140 °F) or above:At the drive end, twist the screen together into a bundle not longer than five times itswidth and connected to terminal X1-1 (for digital and analog I/O cables) or to eitherX1-28 or X1-32 (for RS485 cables). Leave the other end of the cable shieldunconnected.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 angle asnear 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 analog and digital input signals on 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.Note! Never mix 24 VDC and 115/230 VAC signals in the same cable.Control Connection SpecificationsAnalog Inputs andOutputsSee table heading "Hardware Description" on page 17.Digital Inputs Digital input impedance 1.5 kΩ.
