Supplementary Sheet for the Motor Module Swap for Booksize C/D-Type Modules with Adapter Cable
1. Use of the adapter cable
The Motor Modules to be replaced have a different system to connect motor cables than the C/D-type modules. To connect existing motor cables that use the old connection system
(see article 5) to the C-/D-Type Motor Modules, the specified adapter cables should be used. The required adapter cable is specified in the following table:

Dimension drawing of the adapter cable in mm (inch)

The adapter cable is 1 m (39.37 in) long. This allows
you to stow the adapter cable flexibly according to
the spatial conditions in the control cabinet.

* As an alternative to using the adapter cable, the

existing motor cable can be upgraded to the new
connection technology. To do this, approximately
15 cm (5.91 in) of the existing motor cable must
additionally be available.
The following options are possible:
Alternative 1:
Use of the motor connector of the adapter cable (see
Section 7).

Alternative 2:
Use of separate motor connectors that are available
for order (see Section 8).

* Cable diameter:
Ø 12.5 mm (0.49 in) at 2.5 mm²
Ø 16 mm (0.63 in) at 6 mm²

Module, tighten the first motor cable again to the specified torque after you have securely fixed
the second motor cable.

5. Connecting the motor cable with the adapter cable

The following connectors can be connected to the existing motor cables:
Type 1: with crimp contacts and screw-type lock
Type 2: with crimp contacts and locking mechanism
Type 3: with screw-type connections and screw-type lock
Type 4: with screw-type connections and locking mechanism (6SL3162-2MA00-0AAx)
All of these variants are suitable for connecting to the adapter cable.
For models with a screw-type lock (types 1 and 3), the locking bolt must be unscrewed
from the adapter.
For connectors from third-party manufacturers, no guarantee of safety and function can
Unscrewed locking bolt
be assumed. Tool: Torx T20

Example:
Connecting a motor cable with an
adapter cable

1. Plug the connector of the existing motor cable  into the socket of the adapter cable . Depending on the design, secure the motor connector by tightening the locking screw or
by actuating the locking mechanism .
2. Screw on the protective conductor of the motor cable to the shield plate of the adapter . Use the available screw to do this. Use a 1 x 5.5 slotted screwdriver or a Torx T20
screwdriver (torque: 3 Nm / 26.55 lbf in). The protective conductor can, if necessary, be fastened to the motor connector or the adapter using a cable tie.

6. Routing the adapter cable in the control cabinet

After all of the electrical connections have been established, the adapter Example of an installation in the control cabinet:
cable can be stowed in the control cabinet. The preferred locations for
stowing are the floor of the control cabinet and cable racks. Also, any
additional free location can be used, where the adapter cable can be
secured (e.g. using cable ties). The adapter module can be stowed in
any position.
Observe the following boundary conditions when routing the cable:
• The environmental conditions specified in the equipment manual
apply.
• When routing the cables, local heat sources must be considered
(e.g. chokes, braking resistors, heat sinks or hot air from devices
and cable bundles with a high level of self-heating).
Therefore, keep a distance of at least 20 cm (7.87 in).
• Do not cover any ventilation openings of devices with the adapter
cable or adapter module.
• The minimum bending radius of the cable is 6 cm (2.36 in) for the
2.5 mm² cable and 8 cm (3.15 in) for the 6 mm² cable.
• For EMC reasons, a minimum distance to signal and 24 V cables of
20 cm (7.87 in) is recommended.

Assembling the motor cable:

1. Remove 85 mm (3.35 in) of the cable sheath.
2. Fold back the braided shield. If you are using a motor
cable with brake conductors, then the braided shield of
the brake conductors must be unbraided. Fold back
unbraided shield onto the outer shield.
3. Fix the braided shield. Preferably, use shrink tubing
with hot melt adhesive.
4. Shorten the individual conductors corresponding to the
adjacent drawing and the table below.
5. Remove 12 mm (0.47 in) of the insulation from each
conductor (15 mm / 0.59 in with a conductor cross-
section of 10 mm²).
