The size of the machine is not the most relevant thing, though a bigger machine will might need bigger power cables to keep the losses down. You would typically size the power cables for the motor current. Data cables might simply be chosen for being conveniently available with the required number of cores. Sensors and switches generally get wired back to the control box, though there might be something to be said for keeping the motor drives near the motors. (There are even some very neat stepper drives that bolt onto the back of the motors) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
