AND-logic circuit with #amplifier

Distribution #box with 4 or 8 sockets;
with built-in signal amplifier,
to connect PNP #sensors in series
and recover any voltage drop.

AND-logic circuit with amplifier - Shield's M8 distributor.

Advantages:

• Led near each M8 socket shows on-off signal status.
• It is possible to put sensors in series with high voltage drop as well.
• Connection of many sensors to the cabinet by a simple 3-pole M12 #connector.
• Single PLC input can get signal from many sensors.

Accessories: special male M8 connector for input exclusion.

#Safety #circuits

IP67 electrical signal distributor for Safety Applications

Distributor device and #M12 #connectors with 5 or 8 poles
for application with safety circuits.

• Standard circuits available to connect safety sensors.
• Overvoltage category III, pollution degree 3.
• Yellow body.
• Customized circuit availability.

6-signal #splitter of small dimensions

Splitter for several #actuators / #sensors, M8, M12 connectors, plugs or sockets.
Application: When there are many sensors and solenoid valves in small space.
For example the head of industrial #robot.
Each 8-pole M12 connector can drive from 1 up to 6 connectors M8.
Advantages:

• Reduces weight
• Reduces dimensions
• Very quick assembling
• Reduces inventory codes
• Easier maintenance
• Possible customizations
• Spiral cables are available as well

  

  Up to 6-signal splitter, spiral or straight cable

Y Splitter, #M12-M12 #connector

Splitter useful to join on the same cable the signals coming from 2 different #sensors or to control 2 #electrovalves.
Solutions with direct cable instead of plug or socket connectors are available as well.
 

Splitter allows to use 1 single cable for 2 sensors or 2 valves.
Variants: each connector could be replaced by a cable,
moreover each connector could be male or female type.

Alternative #solutions to #Bus: special circuits

Solutions with #distribution #boxes without Bus in many cases may be more advantageous, for example when they have circuits with special connections or when they contain electronic circuits dedicated to specific applications.

Disadvantages of the distribution boxes with Bus:

• complex circuits which require qualified technicians
• higher price
• equipments for control tests are expensive
• generally slower reaction times
• devices like sensors or actuators have different versions for each bus standard on the market: selection and availability are more difficult
• one or more Bus systems can prevail in the future and others may become obsolete: the risk to invest in the choice of a Bus system increases 

Customized distribution box can be alternative or integrative to BUS applications.

Advantages of the distribution boxes with special circuits:

• Modular system: several boxes shapes already available
• It is possible to combine from 2 to 15 female sockets or male plugs on the same box
• It is possible to integrate any electronic circuit: series or parallel connections, AND / OR, special connections with or without components of any type
• If necessary you can also add DIP switches, buttons and electronic displays
• It is possible to include a Push-pull control connector guaranteed for 5000 connections cycles (ODU, LEMO, FISCHER), useful for applications on devices which need to be changed frequently.
