3-phase 200 VAC -10% to 230 VAC +10%, 47 to 63 Hz, 4.5 kVA

(If the power transformer box is used: 3-phase 400 VAC -10% to 480 VAC +10%, 47 to 63 Hz, 4.5 kVA)

Use the AC power cable (10 m), which is a required option that you need to select when purchasing the controller.

Motor & Encoder Cable Set

Select a length from 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 m.

The set consists of a motor power cable and an encoder cable.

It is a required option that you need to select when purchasing the controller.

The cables are movable cables.

Ensure the following inner bending radii of the motor & encoder cables are maintained. The cable may be broken if bent excessively. The minimum inner bending radii differ depending on whether the cables are used in a movable manner or not.

• Used in a movable manner
  • Motor power cable: 220 mm or more
  • Encoder cable: 110 mm or more

• Used in an immovable manner
  • Motor power cable: 88 mm or more
  • Encoder cable: 65 mm or more
