The HIPERFACE DSL

technology as a digital protocol offers a single cable connection between motor and drive controller. By rea-

son of the protocol robustness it is possible to route the motor feedback wires within the motor energy cable as a shielded twisted

pair wires. For the communication cable lengths up to 100 m can be realized. It simplies the motor connection and saves costs.

The great advantage of a single cable connection creates some requirements for the communication at the same time when

routing the communication wires within the same cable where also the power supply wires for the motor are located. In this case

impacts from the power cables can create a signal disturbing crosstalk.

Within this application note SICK Stegmann GmbH provides general guidelines for the utilization of HIPERFACE DSL

-interface for

servo-motor controlling. Recommendations were made for the conguration of applications to minimize the signal disturbing cros-

stalk. Furthermore information and questions are listed for cable and connector selection as well as installation assessment. The-

se information are based on today‘s best practice and should help to achieve a stable and reliable HIPERFACE DSL

connection.

The user is responsible for the overall and nal application design including the motor power supply and the requirements for par-

ticular installations also in terms of dynamics, temperature or hazardous materials. The information provided in here are subject to

change based on ongoing tests and continuous improvements.
