Compact M12 bus connector for Siemens control system
PROVERTHA has revealed that it supplies a customized compact M12 bus connector, which has been designed specifically for Siemens’s new control system Sinumerik NCU 7x0.3. Meeting the requirements of the control system’s particular form factor, the new Profibus Compact 2 M12 bus connector joins the M12 Profibus lines with the NCU control unit’s D-Sub, X126 and X136 Profibus DB interfaces to connect other bus devices.
Providing major cabling clearance and unobstructed access to the NCU’s Profibus and Profinet interfaces, the new Profibus Compact 2 M12 bus connector features a compact and optimised form factor. Implemented as RJ45 connector to the X120 interface, it also avoids collisions with the Ethernet port.
The Profibus Compact 2 M12 bus connectors also feature completely shielded zinc die-cast housings for high EMI/RFI security, cable outlets 90° to the D-Sub connecting direction with the Compact models, and the fast M12 Plug&Play connection. 100% tested bus connectors resulting in high functional safety, they also include programming and diagnosis options provided by a second D-Sub port, UNC 4-40 knurled locking screws, and massive externally operable switch levers to activate bus termination.
