3 The complete range Sensor/Actuator fl ush type connectors and customer assembled plug connectors Sensor/Actuator boxes Sensor/actuator boxes with the standardized connection technology provide connections to all commercially available sensors and -actuators and are the solution for decentralizing small numbers of I/O’s. Sensor/ actuator boxes can be connected to the Profi bus, DeviceNetTM and CANopen fi eldbus systems. Regardless of -whether you are installing them on profi les, on fl at surfaces or under rough conditions – the assembly concept ensures fl exibility and reduces the installation costs. The devices enable assembly in two directions and are thus suitable for every application. The arrangement of connectors minimizes the installation time even under rough conditions. Sensor/Actuator cables A comprehensive range of preassembled conductors with M8-, M12- and valve-connectors for rapid wiring of sensors and actuators in the fi eld are available. Sensor/actuator cables with LEDs can be used for simplifi ed control of signal status. Shielded wiring types are also available for those applications with higher EMV capability. The AS-i devices were designed for effi ciently networking sensors and actuators in the AS-i network and allow for fast and safe installation with tool-free contacting. AS-i devices can be installed quickly and easily. The locking mechanism allows a toolfree connection to the AS-i fl at conductors. They are pressed into the corresponding guide aids and the module electronics are moved forward. The de-vices are connected to the AS-i fl at conductors using the penetration technique by snapping the hinged section into place. M8 and M12 fl ush type connectors with integrated braid for device connection to the PCB is available. Freely customizable plug connectors can be used for rapid assembly of individual wiring lengths of M8 and M12 sensor/actuator cables. Here it is possible to choose between versions with screw or fast connectors. AS-i boxes – Easy cabling in the lower fi eld level
