Introduction
Universal solutions for PLC input/output cards
The increasing complexity of machinery and facilities in the
industry means that attention is being drawn to the resulting
rise in the costs of wiring. Traditional end-to-end cabling
between the PLC and the eld components has many
drawbacks:
• High assembly costs: Time-consuming routing and
assembly of connecting leads.
• The risk of wiring mistakes increases in proportion with
the number of individual wires at one end.
• Individual wires occupy a considerable amount of space
in the cabinet.
• High installation and implementation time.
• High labelling and documentation workload
Weidmüller offers a complete line of pre-assembled cables,
together with a range of compact interfaces, to connect with
the main commercial PLCs:
• ABB S88
• Emerson Delta V
• GE Fanuc 90-30 and RX3i
• Honeywell C200
• Mitsubishi Melsec
• Omron CJ1W
• Rockwell Compact Logix , Control Logix and Micro Logix
• Schneider Micro, Premium, Twido, Quantum,
M340 and M258
• Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200
and S7-1500
PLC interface
The range includes passive input/output interfaces for digital
and analogue signals and relay boards to insulate the input
and output signals. These modules accept all common
commercial connectors and are available for screw or
tension clamp connection.
The Weidmüller universal interfaces for the PLC have the
following individual components:
• Extruded prole for inserting the PCB
• Clip-on feet for locking on standardised mounting rails
TS 32 and TS 35
• Printed circuit board where the following elements can
be identied
– Plug-in connectors to the PLC (Ribbon cable,
RSV or SUB-D)
– Weidmüller terminals for screw or tension clamp
connection
– Electronic or mechanical components offering
additional functions: LED, relays, fuses…
These interfaces are universal: the same interface can
be used by different PLCs from different manufacturers.
Pre-assembled cables are responsible for adequately
communicating the PLC with its eld components.
