Accessories

For controlling and regulating tasks in a processing system, data transfer must be reliable in order to ensure the reliability of the whole system. This is why ADDI-DATA accessories have the same high safety and EMC standards as the DAQ Cards and Ethernet systems. ADDI-DATA offers robust accessories which ensure the reliability of the signal transfer both from the sensor to the electronics and from the electronics to the connected devices.

How important are cables and terminal panels?

When the PC runs important controlling and regulating tasks in a processing system, then data transfer must be reliable in order to ensure the reliability of the whole system. This is why ADDI-DATA cables and terminal panels have the same high safety and EMC standards as the DAQ Cards and MSX-E systems.

Indispensable terminal panels

Terminal panels are essential in most industrial applications. They dispatch to the sensors, tracers or control modules the numerous signals which are to be processed.

Prevent connection errors

  • The terminal panels are pin-compatible with the DAQ Cards
  • The terminal panels lead the control signals in increasing order from the PC to the screw terminal which also corresponds to the bit set in the board

Helpful LEDs

  • Indicate the status of each digital signal

Integrated 24 V supply

  • Separate 24 V supply terminal for the easy connection of digital 24 V DAQ Cards
  • Varistors and diodes for overvoltage protection are connected to the screw terminals to prevent emissions from the external supply voltage.

High noise immunity

  • The connection between housing and shield through the ground connection terminal creates an earthing on both sides

What makes the difference between cables?

The connection cable as a mechanical device is not submitted to the EMC specifications, though it can affect the emission immunity of the devices to which it is connected. The use of cables with industry-standard D-Sub connectors has many advantages:

  • Robustness
  • Protection against EM fields
  • Earthing on both connector ends
  • High noise immunity

Application

Suitable for use as control or signal cables in noisy environment, for indoor or outdoor applications. The tight braid reduces the emissions. The copper braid is used as “ground“. Twisted pairs provide protection against crosstalk and external interference. The cables are suited for dry or damp environments.

Shielded cables for industrial applications

What makes the difference between cables?

The connection cable as a mechanical device is not submitted to the EMC specifications, though it can affect the emission immunity of the devices to which it is connected. The use of cables with industrial standards has many advantages:

  • Protection against EM fields: The shield of the cable is connected to the metallised hood of the D-sub connector. The connection between housing and shield creates an earthing on both sides
  • High noise immunity: More protection through adapted pin assignment of the cables. The way the cable leads are twisted in pairs corresponds to the pin assignment of the boards.

Design of the cables

  • Plain copper conductor, fine-strand according to IEC 60228
  • Special PVC conductor insulation
  • Twisted-pair conductors
  • Core identification according to DIN 47100
  • Conductors laid up in layers
  • Aluminium foil
  • Tinned copper braid shielding
  • Covering grade approx. 85%
  • Special outer sheath, grey PVC
  • Oil and petrol resistant according to VDE 0250 and 04772
  • Self-extinguishing (SE) and flame-retardant, according to IEC 60332-1

Industry-standard D-sub connectors versus SCSI-connector

D-sub connectors fit the high requirements of industrial measurement and control. They are robust and have a high noise immunity. This is why we equip all our boards with D-sub connectors

Application

Suitable for use as control or signal cables in noisy environment, for indoor or outdoor applications. The tight braid reduces the emissions. The copper braid is used as “ground“. Twisted pairs provide protection against crosstalk and external interference. The cables are suited for dry or damp environments.

FAQ

Junction blocks

The serial number of the terminal blocks can be found on the housing (front or back).

The cables

The serial number of the round cables for PC cards can be read on the metal housing of the connector. The serial number of the round cables for the remote systems can be found on the conductor marker
