Sensor/Actuator Cable Pre-Assembled with M8/M12 Plug-in Connector at One End

Machine designers frequently require individual cable lengths. Sensor cables with a connector fitted at one end only can be easily adapted to the corresponding situation. The cables are available in many different versions: straight, 90° and with all common pole numbers (3, 4 and 5).

Male plugs and Female sockets can be assembled to suit individual customer requirements for connecting cables. The cable sheathing is of PUR (polyurethane) and is suitable for use with cable carrier systems. Plugs and cables are in neutral black.

Connecting Cables

Many applications with sensors require suitable connecting cables. The connecting cables are available in different designs. The M12/M8 plug-in connectors are available in straight and 90° versions and also with LEDs.

• When plugged in, the M12 connecting cables comply with IP68 ingress protection class.
• The cable sheathing is black and made of polyurethane (PUR or PVC).
• The connecting cables are supplied with two marking sleeves.
• Corresponding tags TM-I 18 for the marking sleeves are available.

Twin Sensor Cables with Three Plug-in Connectors: M12/M8

In general, two sensor cables can be fed with a M12 connector to the distributor. A wide variety of wiring arrangements are possible with these cables. All M12 and M8 connections can be implemented. Weidmüller has all the necessary components ready. With mechanical engineering, this type of application is an exception.

In the SAI distributor, the 4 pole socket is fitted with pins 1, 3, 4 and 5. The 4 pole SAI plug is fitted with pins 1, 2, 3 and 4. This corresponds to market standards. Special care must be taken when wiring combinations of 4-pole plugs and distributors.

B-Coded M12 Cables

Connector coding is very important whenever the potential for damage exists when connectors are incorrectly plugged together. This risk is particularly high when you are working with different voltages in your facility and these voltages must be plugged in. For example, it is not unusual to connect 110 or 230 V with a M12 plug-in connector. However if a 24 V electric potential is connected with a 110 or 230 V line, it will inevitably lead to destructive results.

B-coding has been introduced for such cases. B-coded connectors are shaped so that they can not be fitted together unless extreme force is used. This coding makes it safe to use the standard M12 connector system in a single machine for different voltages which may exceeding 24 V.

Valve Plug, ISO 4400

Machine builders frequently need different cable lengths for valve plugs. Valve plugs with free cable ends can be used to adjust the cable exactly to the lengths required. Weidmüller can of course also supply valve plugs as connecting cables with M12 plugs. The status of the valve plug is shown by an LED. Every valve plug is fitted with a protective circuit.

The Weidmüller range includes valve plugs of type A, B and C to DIN and industry standards. Weidmüller plugs comply with IP67 ingress protection class when plugged in. The outgoing direction is also crucial. Weidmüller can supply 0° versions, i.e. the outgoing direction of the cable is at the PE contact.

Cables 3, 4, 5 Poles

Weidmüller can provide the following types of cables for connecting sensors and actuators:

• The outer sheathing of the cables is made from polyurethane and the inner stranded wires have PVC insulation.
• They are available with 3, 4 and 5 poles.
• In addition, the cables are also available with PVC outer sheathing and PVC insulation internally.

Bus Cables

Owing to their easy assembly and adaptability, Distributors have become very popular among machine manufacturers. For such applications, Weidmuller can also supply corresponding bus cables for custom assembly.

The bus cables are available in three different versions. All bus cables are suitable for moving cable carriers and are available by the metre. All three trunk cables can be ordered in individual lengths. A typical order quantity is a 500 meter drum. The color coding of wires conforms to the standard in mechanical engineering.
