Uwe:
I take it the two caps and resistor are similar to the attached lower circuit diagram? And thanks Nigel.

All you need is a single 0.1uF non-polar capacitor across the two pins of H8.
Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Agreed, don’t over complicate things, just add a single cap. Then look at grounding the shielded wire.

yes, the lower diagram worked best for me.

just put the cap across the Vout and COM (COM should be GND) on the driver side. You dont need a resistor because the wires will have enough impedance on their own unless really short. Also, we dont need a ton of filtering here unless your enclosure is exceptionally noisy

What kind of cable are you all using as twisted-pair-cable?
The only shielded, twisted pair-cables i know are ethernet-cabbles?
German-speaking, so please be patient with my english-skills :)

I dont know what he is using,
but you can get thicker gauge twisted pair shielded cable by the foot from places like automationdirect

If you are talking about VFD cabling, I used automation direct: Southwire VFD cable, 4 conductors (includes ground), 16 AWG, cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) conductor insulation material, overall foil and braid shielded, TPE jacket,

Ah, that did it, Helukabel is a german manufacturer, so I could just switch to the german homepage and find out how that cables are described here in germany.
Thank you very much!
