KB014 What must be considered regarding the connecting cables?

When selecting the sensor connection cable, the following points should be considered:

  1. Cable cross-section according to the maximum sensor current
  2. Wire resistance for long cables (Attention: voltage drop through cable)
  3. Cable requirements according to specifications e.g. shielded twisted pair cable for RS-422 / RS-422 or SSI interfaces, with specifications according to Technical Reference Manual (see Downloads).
