Siemens 6FX5002-5DG10-1BA0 MOTION-CONNECT 500 Preassembled Cable

The Siemens 6FX5002-5DG10-1BA0 is a preassembled MOTION-CONNECT 500 series cable, designed for flexible connection between drive units (such as SINAMICS) and motors or between drives and PLC signal interfaces. This cable combines power conductors with signal cores, offering a complete solution for motor feedback and control in motion systems.

Cable Construction and Materials

The cable consists of copper conductors with PVC insulation, shielded for EMC protection. It includes 4 power cores (6 mm² each) for motor phases, 2 signal pairs (0.5 mm² each) for encoder or resolver feedback, and 2 brake control wires. The overall shield is a tinned copper braid with an 85% coverage, ensuring high immunity to electromagnetic interference.

Electrical Ratings

Rated voltage: 600/1000 V. Operating temperature: -40 to +80°C (fixed installation), -25 to +80°C (flexible movement). Minimum bending radius: 5 x cable diameter for fixed installation, 10 x for flexing. The cable is oil-resistant and flame-retardant (according to IEC 60332-1).

Connectorization

This variant comes with preassembled connectors on both ends. Typically, one end has a circular connector (e.g., for motor connection) and the other has a D-sub or terminal block for the drive/PLC interface. The cable length is specified by the part number; this version is 10 meters long (standard).

Application and Usage

It is used to connect SINAMICS S120 or G120 drives to synchronous/induction motors, as well as to PLC analog or digital I/O modules for speed/torque reference and feedback signals. The cable is suitable for drag chain applications with moderate flexing cycles.

Technical Data - Conductors

Power conductors: class 5 (flexible) stranded copper, with a cross-section of 6 mm². Signal conductors: twisted pairs with individual shielding and a drain wire. Brake conductors: 1.5 mm².

Environmental and Mechanical Properties

Outer sheath: PVC, yellow (RAL 1021). Cable diameter: approx. 16 mm. Weight: approximately 0.6 kg/m. The cable is resistant to oils, UV radiation, and weathering.

Certifications

CE approved, UL recognized (for some variants), and RoHS compliant. The cable meets the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.

Installation Guidelines

When installing, ensure that the cable is not stretched or kinked. Maintain proper clearances from power cables to avoid induction. Shield grounding must be done on both ends using suitable EMC clamps.

Compatibility

Compatible with Siemens SINAMICS G120, S120, and earlier MASTERDRIVES systems. Also works with third-party drives when connector pinouts are matched.

Maintenance and Inspection

Regularly inspect the cable jacket for cuts or abrasion. Check connector tightness and shield integrity during routine servicing.

In summary, the Siemens 6FX5002-5DG10-1BA0 MOTION-CONNECT 500 cable offers a high-quality, preassembled interconnection solution for reliable drive-to-PLC communication in industrial motion control applications.
