Laying
Slots for the following cables are integrated on the tiles:
- Power cables with B17 to B17
- ZK7672‑3031-3xxx
- EtherCAT G/G10 cable with M12 to M12
- ZK1B96-8181-0xxx
- EtherCAT G/G10 cable with RJ45 to M12
- ZK1B96‑8191-0xxx
- EtherCAT G/G10 cable with ix Industrial™ to M12
- ZK1B96‑819A-0xxx
Route the power cable in a protected manner so that it is not exposed to external damage. Make sure that the cables lie in a position where they are protected against moving machine parts and their acceleration forces. Beckhoff recommends "fixed installation", because the cable is not suitable for drag chains. Observe the specified bending radii for a fixed or occasionally moved power cable:
Power cable
Laying | Minimum bending radius |
|---|---|
Fixed | 5 x cable diameter |
EtherCAT G cable
Laying | Minimum bending radius |
|---|---|
Fixed | 4 x cable diameter |
Occasionally moved | 8 x cable diameter |
Use the EtherCAT G cable ZK1B96-819A-0xxx to establish communication between the tiles and the industrial PC. With the EtherCAT G cables ZK1B96-8181-0xxx, up to four tiles can be connected to each other to form a segment according to the Daisy Chain principle.
With the power cable ZK7672-3031-0xxx, up to eight tiles can be connected to each other to form a segment according to the Daisy Chain principle.

Only connect adjacent tiles with the power cable and the EtherCAT G cable. Ideally, the power cable and the EtherCAT G cable of a tile are connected to the same other tile.
