5. Installation & Maintenance

1. Mounting: Secure to panel with M3 screws; maintain 20 mm clearance for airflow.

2. Wiring: Separate power (U/V/W) and signal (encoder/communication) cables (≥10 cm).

3. Grounding: Connect PE terminal to chassis ground for safety and EMI reduction.

4. Configuration: Use XYCOM Motion Utility software (RS‑232) to tune loops and set parameters.

5. Maintenance: Inspect connectors quarterly; clean fans annually; update firmware as needed.

6. Availability

• Original: Discontinued by Schneider Electric.

• Spare Parts: Refurbished, tested units and surplus stock available.

• Replacement: Succeeded by Pro‑face PS/5000 motion control modules and third‑party servo drives.
