The core unit is at the heart of your controls. It contains
the central processing unit (CPU), where all information is
processed. The output parameters will be determined by
the input variables.
Secure plug-in connectors with integrated cross-connections
like the BLDZ 5.08DN and the BLDF 5.08 represent the
bus interfaces to the individual modules on the front plate.
Alter natively, continuous contact for the DIN-rail buses can be
established on the back, as in the CH20M electronics housing.
The Ethernet protocol has become the standard for commu-
nications with the outside world. Weidmüller provides various
interfaces based on RJ45 and FO which are either located
directly in the component assembly or connected through a
bus interface.
You require industrial-quality, data connections to ensure the
data connectivity for your industrial controls. In particular, the
subassemblies which can be connected to an superordinate
Fieldbus system, e.g. PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CAN, SERCOS or
EtherCAT, make enormous demands on the quality of communi-
cation. Today, Industrial Ethernet is used predominantly in this
area and is the general standard for networking and con guring
automation components.
Based on our Industrial Ethernet components, we offer connec-
tion solutions in IP67 and IP65 for network connectivity and
position feedback. These are not only for devices, but for compo-
nents in the  eld as well. Our industrial quality data connections
guarantee secure data transmission. The interfaces comply with
international standard IEC 61076-3-106 (114).
There are sensors throughout the industrial process chain to
monitor the conditions at each step. These sensors send
signals in both digital and analogue form.
To ensure plant operation as automation steadily increases,
you need extremely precise signal processing – in the
smallest space possible.
Weidmüller offers a product range tailored to the require-
ments of sensor signals for signal processing. For example,
the BL-I/O is the smallest 3.50 mm pluggable solution for
connecting a three-wire system. The integrated signal display
shows the correct cabling of sensors even when the con-
troller is switched off. The integrated electrical distribution
supplies the needed power to 8 sensors. Solid PUSH IN
wire connectors guarantee that the sensors run continuously
and securely.
Additional 3.50, 3.81 and 5.00/5.08 mm plug-in solutions
offer virtually limitless design options at the connectivity
level. Our product range of male connectors means the
assembly components can be produced cost effectively and
are equipped for the automated SMT process.
PCB terminals with PUSH IN connectors offer you a cost-
effective alternative to plug-in solutions. They can be
produced in either the wave solder process or uncom-
promisingly in the re ow process.

Rapid communication using IP6x junction boxes, couplings and plug-in connectors PCB BL-I/O plug-in connectors with PUSH IN connections for the most compact solution
For a secure process, the actuators need more than the
supply of precise status information; they also need highly
secure connections to control relays, valves, and motors.
And these should take up as little space as possible unless
the need for larger connection cross-sections, cable lengths
or switching voltage requires larger types of constructions.
Our B2CF plug-in connectors are both extremely compact
and easy to use. Up to four levels in pitch 3.50 mm can
be stacked to create a connection cross-section of up to
1.5 mm². The actuator conductors can be connected quickly
and securely using the PUSH IN spring action.
The BLF 5.0x with PUSH IN connection is well suited for
connection cross-section with particularly stringent demands.

When connecting sensors and actuators, modules are increasingly
being used outside the protected electrical cabinet. This means
that the module components have to be even more robust.
Weidmüller offers both IP65 and IP69K round plug-in connec-
tors depending on the application. The M8 and M12 round
plug-in connectors are widely recognised as the best connec-
tivity technology for wiring sensor and actuator signals for your
industrial applications. For motors and multi-pole cables, the
M23 products have been considered best-in-class for many
years now.
The product range is extremely broad, spanning across from
various built-in plugs to moulded cables, through to distributor
modules. In addition to the standard components, we have
also developed tailored solutions. For example, we can deliver
customised cable lengths starting with a quantity of one.
We also supply an IP67 housing which can be adequately
sealed without any additional moulding beyond its own
electronics module.

Modern controls in block or sliced construction need a modular,
scalable, universal housing concept.
Electronics housings carry out a multitude of functions: They
integrate, protect, isolate and connect the individual electronics
components and their operating and display elements. They
thereby become the interface in the electronics cabinet between
the various sensors, cable levels and actuators of the control
system.
The CH20M (Component Housing IP20 Modular) system offers
you an innovative platform for your applications and are primed
for the future. We feel sure that you will be extremely pleased
with the enormous degree of  exibility and customisation, whilst
delivering simpli ed planning due to standardisation. For exam-
ple, like a ”tailored suit off the rack“, CH20M uni es modularity in
a consistent design with extensive freedom to mix and match
along with vast scaleability.
Other bene ts include greater cost effectiveness and production
process security thanks to the automated assembly and re ow
processing (SMT) across all module widths as well as the greater
net layout space.
In terms of utilisation, the system features highly secure operation
and ease of use. Reliable operation and simplicity of service are
ensured by numerous innovative details such as integrated self-
coding, ergonomic release clips, being  nger-safe on both sides,
leading contact, as well as sealable and self-stopping hinged
covers.
