#BUS #DISTRIBUTION POINT

The picture shows an M12 connector distribution point for #CanOpen or #DeviceNet bus applications. This distribution box can manage up to 12 circuit branches. It is a cost effective patch panel to connect many bus devices. Compact dimensions and easy to install.

The box is available with many connection circuit options, plugs and/or sockets in any position, even for small production lots.

#Coloured and/or A-B-C-D-P coded #M12 connectors

M12 - #IEC 61076-2-101 #connectors can be supplied with many different key codings to prevent assembly and maintenance mistakes.
Numbers of poles: from 2 up to 17.
Differently coloured connectors are also available to help easy matching, when plugs and sockets are positioned in difficult places for the operator.

Plugs and sockets to avoid error assembly.

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.

Distribution #box with #M12 sockets and built-in male 7/8" (or M23) control connector

Classic distribution box family with 4, 6, 8 or 10 #socket #connectors. Sockets can be M8 or M12.
Caps for unused sockets are available.
Control male connector is 7/8" of 14 or 19 or 25 poles (M23 of 12 or 19 poles).
This solution allows to easily change the box without unwiring the whole system.
The picture shows type SK205PD.

The internal circuit can be customized according to customer's request, for instance:

• independent and separated outputs
• series outputs
• parallel outputs
• AND/OR logic wiring
• electronic logic upon request
