Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 23570-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Automation systems and integration,
Subcommittee SC 1, Physical device control.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 23570-3:2006), of which it constitutes a minor
revision.
The following significant changes have been made to the first edition:
a) addition of a third variant of motor connectors which is especially suitable for smaller motors, either in
physical size, in power capacity, or both, and which can be used to interconnect the motor controller and
the auxiliary motors;
b) extension and reorganizion of the contents of Clause 6 in order to describe the new motor connector;
c) addition of a new Annex D, which describes the design elements of the new motor connector;
d) renumbering of previous Annex D as Annex E.
ISO 23570 consists of the following parts, under the general title Industrial automation systems and
integration — Distributed installation in industrial applications:
⎯ Part 1: Sensors and actuators
⎯ Part 2: Hybrid communication bus
⎯ Part 3: Power distribution bus

ISO 23570-3:2009(E)
Introduction
Modern machine tools for the discrete parts manufacturing industry are complex systems, consisting of
subsystems for material preparation (metal removal, material forming, etc.), material handling, fixturing and
transfer lines for moving parts from one station to another. Each subsystem, in turn, is itself a complex system,
including many sensors, actuators and control elements that receive and transmit electric signals and/or
require electric power. To reduce down time in case of failure, most of them use cable assemblies for quick
replacement. Proper operation of the system as a whole requires co-ordination of the subsystems, which
requires more cables and connectors. As a consequence of this complexity, a large variety of cables and
connectors are required for the proper operation of such a machine tool. The increasing number of sensors,
actuators and control elements leads to an increasing variety of such cable assemblies. This variety results in
increased maintenance costs due to complexity, large spare parts inventory and increased training costs for
maintenance personnel.
ISO 23570 prescribes a set of requirements for cables, connectors and parameter selections within these
elements, which, if implemented completely, will greatly reduce the wiring complexity and maintenance cost of
such machine systems. The manufacturer of such systems will benefit in terms of decreased complexity costs,
and the user of such systems will benefit in terms of decreased down time because of decreased parts
inventory and simplified maintenance training.
The technology described in ISO 23570 may have applicability to other industries and processes, i.e. there is
no intent to restrict it to discrete parts manufacturing.
The following three main areas are addressed within ISO 23570:
⎯ the interconnection of sensors and actuators to the system backbone,
⎯ a hybrid system backbone containing an information path (a fieldbus) and a source of power to the field
devices, and
⎯ a power trunk capable of providing power to all the auxiliary motors in the system.
Large power devices, such as spindle motors for metal removal, are not covered by ISO 23570.
Machine tools described in ISO 23570 are subject to constraints imposed by national and international safety
standards. ISO 23570 is intended to specify system elements that support the compliance to such standards.
Figure 1 illustrates the system components addressed in ISO 23570. In the figure, the solid cable represents
the power distribution bus providing three-phase a.c. power for electric motors. The open cable represents a
hybrid communication bus, containing both a fieldbus communication channel and low voltage power.
The centre of the figure shows a control cabinet (3) serving three sets of distribution buses. This box contains
the fieldbus communication front end, the low voltage power supplies and the three-phase power supplies.
To the left of the control cabinet are a motor with integrated electronics (1) and a fixed speed motor with a
separate motor controller (2). Both units are linked to the control cabinet by both the communication bus and
the power distribution bus.
To the right of the control cabinet are a fixed speed motor with an attached motor controller (4), a variable
speed motor with an integrated I/O module connected to several sensors and actuators (5), and another
I/O module (6) connected to several sensors and actuators, including a hydraulic/pneumatic valve. The
I/O module (6) is linked to the control cabinet only by the hybrid communication bus.

In front of the control cabinet are three more units: a motor with integrated electronics (7), another I/O module
connected to several sensors and actuators including a hydraulic/pneumatic valve (8), and a remote control
terminal (9).
Figure 1 is intended to illustrate the variety of interconnections possible using the elements of ISO 23570.

ISO 23570-1 provides the requirements for sensors, actuators, and I/O modules that support this system
requirement. ISO 23570-2 provides the requirements for a shared communication and low voltage power
distribution system. This part of ISO 23570 provides the requirements for distribution of power to the low
power motor systems.
While significant reduction in maintenance and operational costs may be achieved by adoption of individual
parts of ISO 23570, the greatest benefit will occur only if all parts are implemented.
This part of ISO 23570 provides requirements for the distribution of power to the low power motor systems.

NOTE Annex A provides further specification for connectors satisfying these requirements.
5.4 Motor controllers
Each motor controller shall be equipped with two connectors each meeting the requirements of 5.3, one male
connector, and one female connector. In some applications only one male connector could be sufficient
terminating the power bus.
NOTE 1 The intention is that the motor controller will be placed in the power bus so that the power is fed to the male
connector. Strict adherence to the requirements for cable assemblies and for power supplies provided in this part of
ISO 23570 will ensure that this occurs.
The use of the neutral circuit and the brake circuit specified in 5.3 is optional, depending on the requirements
of the motors being controlled.
NOTE 2 This subclause specifies requirements for motor controllers with respect to the power bus. Further
requirements on motor controllers are specified in 6.2.2 and 6.2.3.
NOTE 3 If a motor controller is addressable as part of a fieldbus network, further requirements for this motor controller
are specified in ISO 23570-2.
In some applications, it may be required that the motor controller can be removed from the power bus for
servicing without interrupting the power service to other units. The details of how this is to be accomplished
are outside the scope of this part of ISO 23570. Motor controllers shall be characterised as to whether they
are suitable for such operation.
5.5 Power supplies
Each power supply output shall be equipped with a female connector meeting the requirements of 5.3 for
transmission of power to the auxiliary motors.

6.1.4 Motor configuration determination
In addition to single phase motors, this part of ISO 23570 supports the operation of three phase motors in both
the delta and the star configuration. Such configuration as a delta or star operated motor may be made in one
of the three ways described below.
a) Within the motor itself
In this case, no further specification is required and the pins labelled “shunt selector” in Table 3 are not
used. This case will be denoted as the internal selection (I).
b) Within the female cable connector that couples to the motor (see 6.1.3)
This configuration is possible only if the motor connector and its matching connector are type 1 or type 3.
This case will be denoted as the local selection (L).
6 © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO 23570-3:2009(E)
c) Within the motor controller
This configuration is possible only if both the motor connector and the controller connector are not type 2.
This case will be denoted as the remote selection (R). Cables that support this mode of selection require
three more conductors than those that support local or internal selection. See Table 5.
6.1.5 Type 3 coding keys
The type 3 connector has a design feature that prevents the improper mating of connectors that are being
used for different purposes. This feature consists of two coding keys, each of which may have one of four
positions. This allows for a total of 16 different coding specifications. The keys mechanically prevent a male
connector from being mated to a female connector that does not have the same selection in the coding keys.
Annex D provides design details for these coding keys. Type 1 and type 2 connectors do not have a similar
feature.
It is recommended that the coding keys be used to identify
a) the actual motor wiring configuration being employed (three phase star, three phase delta, or single
phase), and
b) the configuration of the ancillary circuits.
Suppliers of motor controllers or motors fitted with type 3 connectors shall indicate the coding key assignment
used and the wiring configuration of their product. Suppliers of cables fitted with type 3 connectors shall use
the same coding key assignment for both ends of the cable.
NOTE Table 4 provides an example of the use of these coding keys. Rows of this table can be used as a model for
the information required by this subclause. The second column (“View”) shows the appearance of the coding keys as
viewed in the male connector; the view of the coding keys in the female connector is the mirror image of this view. For
reference, see the figures in Annex D. Figure D.4 illustrates the case A=2, B=4, and D.9 illustrates the case A=4, B=2. In
all cases, pins 10 and 12 are used for the primary temperature sensor that is integrated in the motor windings.
