(b) Reduction techniques for external noises that cause the servo amplifier to malfunction
If there are noise sources (such as a magnetic contactor, an electromagnetic brake, and many
relays which make a large amount of noise) near the servo amplifier and the servo amplifier may
malfunction, the following countermeasures are required.
Provide surge absorbers on the noise sources to suppress noises.
Attach data line filters to the signal cables.
Ground the shields of the encoder connecting cable and the control signal cables with cable clamp
fittings.
Although a surge absorber is built into the servo amplifier, to protect the servo amplifier and
other equipment against large exogenous noise and lightning surge, attaching a varistor to the
power input section of the equipment is recommended.
(c) Techniques for noises radiated by the servo amplifier that cause peripheral devices to malfunction
Noises produced by the servo amplifier are classified into those radiated from the cables connected
to the servo amplifier and its main circuits (input and output circuits), those induced
electromagnetically or statically by the signal cables of the peripheral devices located near the
main circuit cables, and those transmitted through the power supply cables.
