SIMATIC TOP connect universal connecting cable

The wiring of the

• SIMATIC S7-1500 IO (25 mm)
• SIMATIC ET 200SP
• SIMATIC S7-1200
• LOGO!

with the sensors/actuators is a significant factor with respect to time/cost overhead during configuration, control cabinet design, procurement and ease of servicing. The SIMATIC TOP connect system cabling makes connection easy, fast and secure.

Benefits

• Wire end ferrules for universal connection to the controller inputs/outputs
• Labelled cable ends for fault-free wiring
• 16-pin ID (insulation displacement) connector for digital connection modules with 8 I/Os
• Connection to coupling relay for galvanic isolation and adaptation
• TOP connect now also for SIMATIC S7-1500 IO (25 mm), ET 200SP, S7-1200 and LOGO! for multiple uses on site
• Tested connection cable for error-free operation
• Universal connection cable for versatile use with push-in terminals, screw-type terminals, spring-loaded terminals, …
• Flexible bending properties for optimum laying in cable ducts

Design

The unshielded universal connection cable is offered for a wide range of control cabinet concepts.

It comprises:

16-pin round cable with a core cross-section of 0.14 mm2, pre-assembled with wire end ferrules for connection to the controller:

• Labeled with "0" … "7" for the control inputs/outputs
• Labeled with "M" for mass
• Labeled with "L+" for 24 V DC potential

16-pin ID (insulation displacement) connector for connection to the SIMATIC TOP connect connection modules for 8 I/Os:

• 3-wire connection using the appropriate connection module for quick, error-free wiring
• Galvanic isolation and adaptation using a coupling relay for easy implementation of potential groups in the system
• High output current (up to 4 A), even for higher switching frequencies, using an optocoupler module (overload and short-circuit proof)
• Implementation of isolating terminals using switch modules enabling individual signals to be measured
  Channel-wise protection of I/Os using a fuse module with a thermal fuse
