3.4 Connecting the Cables
3.4.1 Wiring the Tuba
Once the Tuba is mounted, you are ready to wire the device. Proper wiring, grounding and
shielding are essential for ensuring safe, immune and optimal servo performance of the Tuba.
Follow these instructions to ensure safe and proper wiring:
Use twisted pair shielded cables for control, feedback and communication connections.
For best results, the cable should have an aluminum foil shield covered by copper braid,
and should contain a drain wire.
The drain wire is a non-insulated wire that is in contact with parts of the cable,
usually the shield. It is used to terminate the shield and as a grounding connection.
The impedance of the wire must be as low as possible. The size of the wire must be thicker
than actually required by the carrying current. A 24, 26 or 28 AWG wire for control and
feedback cables is satisfactory although 24 AWG is recommended.
Use shielded wires for motor connections as well. If the wires are long, ensure that the
capacitance between the wires is not too high: C < 30 nF is satisfactory for most
applications.
Keep all wires and cables as short as possible.
Tuba Installation GuideInstallation
MAN-TUBIG (Ver. 1.3)
Keep the motor wires as far away as possible from the feedback, control and
communication cables.
Ensure that in normal operating conditions, the shielded wires and drain carry no current.
The only time these conductors carry current is under abnormal conditions, when
electrical equipment has become a potential shock or fire hazard while conducting
external EMI interferences directly to ground, in order to prevent them from affecting the
drive. Failing to meet this requirement can result in drive/controller/host failure.
After completing the wiring, carefully inspect all wires to ensure tightness, good solder
joints and general safety.

Table 3-2: Connector for Main Power and Motor Cables
Tuba Installation GuideInstallation
MAN-TUBIG (Ver. 1.3)
3.4.2.1 Connecting the Motor Cable
Connect the motor power cable to the M1, M2, M3 and PE terminals of the main power
connector. The phase connection order is arbitrary because the Composer will establish the
proper commutation automatically during setup. However, if you plan to copy the set-up to
other drives, then the phase order on all copy drives must be the same.
Notes for connecting the motor cables:
For best noise immunity, it is highly recommended to use a shielded (not twisted)
cable for the motor connection. A 4-wire shielded cable should be used. The gauge is
determined by the actual current consumption of the motor.
The fourt h wire should be used for the ground connecti on bet ween the motor and
the PE terminal of the Tuba.
Connect the shield of the cable to the closest ground connection at the motor end.
Connect the shield of the cable to the PE terminal on the Tuba.
Be sure that the motor chassis is properly grounded.

Notes for connecting the AC power cable:
For best noise immunity, a shielded (not twisted) cable is recommended (not
mandatory) for the AC power supply cable. A 4-wire shielded cable should be used.
The gauge is determined by the actual current consumption of the motor.
Connect the four wires to the AC power leads of the source.

3.4.2.3 Connecting the DC Link Cable
Each Tuba contains a shunt. Its purpose is to "absorb" regenerated energy created by the
motor during braking and convert that energy into heat. If the energy regenerated by the
motor exceeds the capacity of the shunt, the drive is switched off and an over-voltage error
message is sent.
To prevent this from happening, the capacity of the shunt system can be extended by
connecting the shunts of s everal Tu bas in parallel. Whe n tw o or more Tubas are con nec ted, by
DC Link cables, the regenerated energy is distributed equally among the drives. This spreads
the energy spikes over several shunts and enables the specific Tuba to continue normal
operation.
Figure 3-10: The Tuba's External DC Link Option
(Note: Tuba 1 and 2 must have an identical voltage rating.)
Tuba Installation GuideInstallation
MAN-TUBIG (Ver. 1.3)
3.4.3 Connecting the Auxiliary Supply Cable (24v)
Connect the auxiliary supply to the 24VDC terminal block on the bottom of the Tuba.
Remember, you are working with DC power; so be sure to exercise caution.
Notes for 24 VDC auxiliary supply connections:
Use a 24 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. For best results the shield should have
aluminum foil covered by copper braid.
The 24 VDC auxiliary power supply must meet all safety standards and must be
separated from hazardous live voltages using reinforced or double insulation in
accordance with approved safety standards.
For safety reasons, connect the return of the 24 VDC source to the closest ground.
Connect the cable shield to the closest ground near the 24 V DC source.
Before applying power, first verify the polarity of the connection.
The Tuba features easy-to-use D-sub type connections for all Control and Feedback cab les.
Below are instructions and diagrams describing how to assemble those cables.
Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted-pair shielded cables (24 AWG cable is recommended).
For best results, the shield should have aluminum foil covered by copper braid.
Use only a D-sub connector with a metal hous ing.
Attach the braid shield tightly to the metal housing of the D-type connector.
On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s
recommendations concerning the shield.

3.4.9 Communication Cables
The communication cables use an 8-pin RJ-45 plug that connect to the RS-232 and CANopen
ports on the front of the Tuba.
The communication interface may differ according to the user’s hardware. The Tuba can
communicate using the following options:
a. RS-232, full duplex
b. CANopen
RS-232 communication requires a standard, commercial 3-core null-modem cable connected
from the Tuba to a serial interface on the PC. The interface is selected and set up in the
Composer software.
In order to benefit from CANopen communication, the user must have an understanding of
the basic programming and timing issues of a CANopen network. The interface is electrically
isolated by optocouplers.
For ease of setup and diagnostics of CAN communication, RS-232 and CANopen can be used
simultaneously.
3-38
3.4.9.1 RS-232 Communication (on the COMM.1 Port)
Notes for connecting the RS-232 communication cable:
Use a 26 or 28 AWG twisted pair shielded cable. The shield should have aluminum
foil covered by copper braid with a drain wire.
Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is
soldered internally inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drai n wire to
facilitate connection.
The male RJ plug must have a shield cover.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the RJ plug. The drain
3.4.9.2 CANopen Communication (on the COMM.2 Ports)
Notes for connecting the CANopen communication cable:
Use 26 or 28 AWG twisted pair shielded cables. For best results, the shield should
have aluminum foil and covered by copper braid with a drain wire
Connect the shield to the ground of the host (PC). Usually, this connection is
soldered internally inside the connector at the PC end. You can use the drai n wire to
facilitate connection.
The male RJ plug must have a shield cover.
Ensure that the shield of the cable is connected to the shield of the RJ plug. The drain
wire can be used to facilitate the connection.
Connect a termination 120-ohm resistor at each of the two ends of the network cable.
