Introduction
20-pin connector modules are connected to sensors, pre-actuators or terminals using a cable designed to enable direct wire to wire transition of the module’s inputs/outputs.
| WARNING | |
|---|---|
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Use only a connector that is designed for a specific module.
Plugging the wrong connector can cause an unexpected behavior of the
application. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. | |
Cable Description
The BMX FTW •01S cables are pre-assembled cord set, made up of:
At one end, a compound-filled 20-pin terminal block from which extend 1 cable sheath containing 20 wires,
At the other end, free wire ends differentiated by color code.
The figure below shows the BMX FTW •01S cables:
1 BMX FTB 2020 Terminal block
2 Cable shielding
3 First of external sheath
4 Wires not stripped
5 Strand of nylon allowing the cable sheath to be stripped easily.
L Length according to the part number.
The cable comes in 2 different lengths:
3 m (9.84 ft): BMX FTW 301S;
5 m (16.40 ft): BMX FTW 501S;
