Universal pre-cabling system

Due to the need to reduce costs, space and time in the construction of electrical cabinets, the universal wiring system for the PLC provides an efficient alternative to point-to-point wiring.
Weidmüller offers a wide range of pre-made cables and interfaces for the main PLC manufacturers:

• Siemens
• Schneider
• Rockwell
• Omron
• GE-FANUC
• ABB
• Mitsubishi
• Honeywell

The interfaces are used as transition components between the control side and the field side and are available in the screw or direct connection versions. These interfaces have a compact design and provide different functions, ie. as LEDs, fuses, isolators or relays.
The pre-made cables are supplied with the manufacturer’s connector on one end and are available in different lengths.
The advantages of this system when using standard point-to-point wiring are as follows:

• minimum wiring costs.
• reduced installation time.
• no wiring errors.
• reduced space.
• clear wiring in the cabinet (cable system instead of individual wires).
• the commissioning and production of wiring drawings is simplified.

Weidmüller also provides a guide for selecting the cable assembly + interface depending on the PLC card. This software can be seen on Weidmuller’s Website: http://galaxy.weidmueller.com
