Installation Guide: NexBot Drives 512-002 Bus Power Cable

1. Verify the part number on the cable matches the order: NXB-CBL-512-002.
2. Visually inspect the entire 2m length of the cable for any nicks, cuts, or damage to the Polyurethane (PUR) jacket.
3. Confirm the system's DC bus voltage does not exceed the cable's 600VDC rating.
4. Ensure all power to the control cabinet is de-energized and a proper Lockout/Tagout procedure is in effect.
5. Plan the cable route to avoid sharp edges, high-temperature zones, and interference with sensitive data cables.
6. Confirm that the terminal blocks on the power supply and servo drives can accommodate the cable's conductors.

Step 1: Step 1: De-energize and Lockout System

Before beginning installation, completely de-energize the control cabinet at the main disconnect. Apply a personal lock and tag in accordance with your facility's Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures to prevent accidental energization.

Step 2: Step 2: Route the Cable

Carefully route the NXB-CBL-512-002 cable from the DC power supply's output terminals to the DC bus input terminals of the first servo drive. Use existing cable trays or channels where possible, ensuring the cable is not subject to pulling, kinking, or crushing.

Step 3: Step 3: Connect to DC Power Supply

Prepare the cable ends as required and connect the positive (+) and negative (-) conductors to the corresponding output terminals on the central DC power supply. Ensure correct polarity is observed. Tighten the terminal screws to the torque value specified by the power supply manufacturer.

Step 4: Step 4: Connect to Servo Drive Bus

Connect the other end of the cable to the main DC bus input terminals on the first servo drive in the bank. If daisy-chaining power, ensure this connection is made to the primary input terminals as specified in the drive's documentation. Tighten terminal screws to the drive manufacturer's specification.

Step 5: Step 5: Secure Cable Routing

Using nylon cable ties, secure the cable along its route at regular intervals to prevent movement and sagging. The cable's 8.5mm outer diameter should be considered when selecting clamps. Do not overtighten cable ties, as this can deform the jacket and conductors.

Step 6: Step 6: Verify Connections and Polarity

Perform a final physical inspection of all connections, ensuring they are secure and that no stray wire strands are present. Use a multimeter set to continuity mode to verify there are no shorts between the positive and negative conductors. Double-check that polarity is correct at both the power supply and the drive.
