Notice

Risk of confusion: supply voltages and EtherCAT

Defect possible through incorrect insertion.

  • Observe the color coding of the connectors:
         black: Supply voltages
         green: EtherCAT

EtherCAT Box Modules have two green M8 sockets for the incoming and downstream EtherCAT connections.

Adaptation of core colors for cables ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090-3xxxx-xxxx

For standardization, the core colors of the ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090-3xxx-xxxx cables have been changed to the EN61918 core colors: yellow, orange, white, blue. So there are different color codes in circulation. The electrical properties of the cables have been retained when the core colors were changed.
