Introduction
40-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. | |
BMX FTW ••5 Cable Description
The BMX FTW ••5 cables are pre-assembled cord set, made up of:
At one end, a compound-filled 40-pin BMX FTB 4020 terminal block (non-gold plated spring terminal block) from which extend 1 cable sheath containing 40 wires,
At the other end, free wire ends differentiated by color code.
| WARNING | |
|---|---|
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION Do not use BMX FTW ••5 cable with hardened module. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. | |
The figure below shows the BMX FTW •05 cables:
1 BMX FTB 4020 Terminal block
2 First of external sheath
3 Wires not stripped
4 Strand of nylon allowing the cable sheath to be stripped easily.
L Length according to the part number.
The connection cables come in two different lengths:
3 m (9.84 ft): BMX FTW 305
5 m (16.40 ft): BMX FTW 505
