Users can use these components to plug in and run the three basic elements of
industrial automation, power, signals and data, and therefore produce an integral
solution. A cable packet is used to establish the connection from the cabinet
to the robot base. Hose packet 1 connects the robot base with axis 3 and hose
packet 2 provides the nal connection between axis 3 and the robot head.
Weidmüller's innovative installation strategy offers major benets for the user:
there is less complexity during installation and quicker replacement of the hose
packets during maintenance. PushPull connectors enable you to swap out power,
signal and data cabling; the procedure is simple, quick and complete. The sturdy
metal housing enclosing the connector ensures a long lifespan even when used
for applications in harsh environments.

The new cabling standard consists of PROFINET PushPull connectors with
two different inserts for data and signals along with the PushPull power
connector. The system is completed with a FreeCon double-junction box for
both power (24 V) and data (Ethernet), and also a FreeCon single-junction box
for signals. The connectors and the FreeCon junction boxes are equipped with
RJ45 modules. The use of RJ45 modules featuring STEADYTEC
®
technology
allows the number of plug-in ports within a single channel to be reduced. The
PROFINET specication calls for the number of plug-in ports to be limited to six.
Each additional plug-in port along the channel increases the power loss and
reduces the effectiveness of the entire transmission path. Weidmüller uses RJ45
components of category 6
A
because these have a considerably higher system
reserve for data transfer than category 5 components. This permits more plug-in
ports to be used within a Cat. 5 channel than the specication describes. The
PushPull connector for power lines features a 5-pole insert for 16 A,
