Sensors and Actuators Connectivity

Further Industrial Power Connectors From Molex

Brad Multi-Port Interconnection Systems (MPIS) Solution to reduce Installation time and costs through:

• IP67 protection can be installed directly on the machine, close to the automation devices keeping single wiring distances low.

• Concentrate sensor and actuator signals and distribute the Power supply reducing homerun cable dimensions.

• Signal diagnostic information to quickly detect machine status and failures on devices.

• Home run cable termination via an M16/M23 connector, via field terminated screw terminal for installation flexibility or for cost savings directly mounted on the module.

Single and Dual signal ports

Brad MPIS and Active HarshIO I/O Ports can manage up to 2 signals per ports (Twin I/O).

Signals are concentrated on Twin I/O ports:

• By using Splitter cordsets

• By using solid body Y or Tee Splitters as shown in above draft.

Primary signal (from device A) will be on Pin 4

Secondary signal (from device B) will be on Pin 2

As displayed below.

MPIS Applications

MPIS solutions are ideal in case of small or mid size machines. Larger Machines or higher IO counts may prefer the active networked HarshIO modules.
