Generally, cabling should be properly designed and documented to help the initial assembly and maintenance.
It is highly recommended to mark each cable on both ends to avoid confusion and errors.

The cables must be run in a safe route along the machine frame. When routing cables, avoid interfering objects and pay particular attention to moving parts of the machine. It is also good to minimize the amount of the connection points of the cable harness to maximize reliability. Also, all valid safety instructions should be observed when coupling.

The control units are connected with each other using standardized CAN bus.
The idea of the Epec embedded control system, is that all the control units are installed close to sensors, encoders and other equipment connected to them.
This way the amount of the traffic on the CAN bus is minimized and connections can be made using short wires.
Example1. Internal termination resistor connection in CAN1 (the resistor is 120 Ω)
