Product catalog summary

Accessory Overview

This document provides a comprehensive overview of connectors, cables, sensor junction systems, and related accessories designed primarily for Eickmann sensors and industrial automation applications. It details product types, materials, electrical and mechanical specifications, environmental ratings, and usage recommendations.

1. Connectors and Cables

Premoulded Connectors: Standard cable lengths of 5 and 10 meters, with custom lengths and cable qualities available on request.
Field-Wireable Connectors and Couplings: Enable on-site assembly and repair, available in straight and angled versions with screw clamp, solder, or clamping plate connection technologies.
Matching Cable Couplings: Each pluggable sensor has corresponding cable couplings for compatibility.

2. Cable Types and Characteristics

PUR/PVC All-round Cable: PUR outer jacket with PVC insulation, suitable for machine tools and metal-cutting production, offering oil and chemical resistance and abrasion resistance, including drag-chain suitability.
XOR (Irradiated PVC Cable): Enhanced form stability and mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, ideal for welding environments.
S366 Flexible Cable: Halogen-free PVC control cable with PUR jacket and polypropylene insulation, temperature range -40°C to +90°C, compliant with VDE0472 for oil resistance and flame retardancy, suitable for robotics and metal-cutting production.

3. Technical Specifications of Connectors and Cables

4. Additional Features

LED indicators on some connectors and cables for supply voltage and switching state (green and yellow LEDs), supporting pnp switching functions.
Adapters available for M12 to M8 conversions and mixed connector configurations.
Y-splitters and sensor junction systems offered with various pole counts and cable lengths.

5. Product Range Summary

Connecting cables (M8 and M12) with various cable materials and lengths.
Field-wireable connectors and couplings for flexible installation and repair.
Accessories including adapters, Y-splitters, sensor clamps, signal converters, power supplies, sensor testers, counters, and timing relays.

6. Usage and Safety Notes

Proper screwing of connectors is mandatory to achieve IP67 protection.
Mechanical durability is limited to approximately 100 mating cycles; exceeding this may cause failure.
Selection of cable type must consider environmental conditions such as temperature, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress.
Observe maximum voltage and current ratings to prevent damage.
Consult safety advice and wiring diagrams (referenced on pages 289 and 290) for installation and operation.

7. Sensor Junction Boxes and Signal Modules

Sensor junction boxes available with multiple poles (up to 14), constructed from durable plastics and metals with IP67 protection.
Switching functions with pnp transistor outputs and LED indicators for operational status.
Impulse stretching modules with adjustable impulse durations (0.01 to 10 seconds), DIN rail mounting, and multiple output types (NO, NC, pnp, npn).
Signal converters and inverters supporting pnp/npn signals, short-circuit protection, and various switching frequencies.

8. Power Supplies

Single and three-phase power supplies with output currents from 1.5 A to 40 A at 24 VDC.
Wide input voltage ranges (85–264 VAC, 120–370 VDC single-phase; 340–550 VAC three-phase).
Features include short-circuit protection, high efficiency (80–91%), low output ripple, DIN rail mounting, and certifications (CE, UL).

9. Sensor Tester and Counters

Sensor tester (ST-01) supports testing of PNP and NPN sensors with automatic detection, LED and buzzer indication, and integrated steel plate for inductive sensors.
Counters and timing relays with numeric displays (4 to 6 digits), multiple counting ranges, screw clamp connections, and IP66/IP67 protection.
Timing relays support various modes (on-delay, drop-out delay, pulse stretching, memory) with time ranges from milliseconds to hours.

Critical Recommendations

Always ensure connectors are fully screwed to maintain IP67 protection and prevent ingress of dust and water.
Do not exceed the maximum mechanical mating cycles to avoid connector damage.
Select cable and connector types appropriate to the environmental and electrical requirements of the application.
Follow manufacturer’s safety advice and wiring diagrams for correct installation and operation.
Contact manufacturer for custom cable lengths or special cable qualities beyond standard offerings.

This structured summary consolidates key technical data and accessory options for Eickmann sensor connectors, cables, junction boxes, and related modules, supporting reliable and flexible industrial automation installations.
