Plug-and-play cable assemblies

March 2009 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Lapp Group offers a variety of moulded network plug-and-play assemblies for motors and drives, DeviceNet, Ethernet and ControlNet applications.

Lapp offers flexing and static moulded pre-assembled and tested cable/connector assemblies for AB motors and drives. They are ideal for motor/drive interconnection in high motion applications such as in cable track and multi-axis machines. Moulded construction ensures a high quality environmental seal and integral strain relief.

DeviceNet flexing and static moulded cord sets are pre-tested and utilise high quality continuous flex cable with integral moulded strain relief. They are designed to provide interconnection between simple devices, such as sensors and actuators and high level devices, such as PLCs and computers, in high motion applications.

Remote access assemblies provide quick and easy access to PLCs or industrial computers mounted inside control panels located on the factory floor. They provide a power outlet and data cable interface to an external operator device, such as a laptop computer, for uploading or downloading system programs and data. All this is accomplished without the need to open the control panel door or shut down the system. Several interconnection protocols are supported (DH 485, Data Highway, Ethernet, etc). Pre-assembled and tested interface cables are also available.

Flexing Ethernet assemblies are offered as continuous flex CAT5e cable, combined with either RJ45 or M12 circular connectors, which offer a unique solution for motion systems operating in tough industrial environments.

Flexing ControlNet assemblies consist of static or continuous flex coaxial cable and BNC connectors, which provide long lasting performance in industrial applications. These assemblies meet all ControlNet specification requirements for reliable 5 Mbit/sec operation.
