Sensor Cordsets

Ballus new line o sensor cordsets oers many benets to the automation world. Ballu can

globally oer cordsets that t almost any standard sensor or actuator application. This oering

includes eatures such as consistant and accurate IP ratings, a wide range o cable jackets, a

ull range o overmold congurations, and high quality rugged materials.

Balluff Connectivity SolutionsPassive connectivity applications

When working in rugged environments, its

important to choose a cordset that will stand

up to the harshest situations - TPE is the cable

jacket o choice. The use o LED cordsets is

also benecial or troubleshooting.

Welding and Rugged Environments

Selecting LEDs on the male ends o your

cordsets allows or the sensor and output

signals to be easily viewable and allows or

simpler input or output indication or the

operator.

Cordset Options and Solutions

Ballus new line o passive connectivity products oers a ull compliment o options to establish standardsensor and actuator solutions in the automation environment. These components provide a high level o

reliability and condence, enabling accurate and repeatable connection IP ratings during maintenance. Many

combinations o solutions are available and are presented below to acilitate uture connectivity designs.

Fluids and sensor signals do not mix. By

using a calibrated IP67 torque wrench on the

hex nut o every cordset, you can ensure the

IP67 rating o the multiple interace block with

the cordset - and keep your signals dry.

Washdown and Wet Applications

When quality is as important as speed in your

application, select a PUR cordset, which

provides fexibility as well as abrasion and

fuid resistance. In a standard automation

application, select a PVC cordset that is

reliable and cost eective.

Valve ConnectorsFrom sensors to cordsets, Ballu oers an extensive line, which includes valve

connctors. These valve connectors cover all standard DIN connections, while also

oering drag chain rated cables, rugged housings, and an option o protective

circuits. Ballu can essentially complete any valve connector solution.

roughest conditions

Multiple Interace Blocks (MIB)

Ballu multiple interace blocks allow multiple sensors and actuator signals to be

easily routed back to a control system. These ully potted blocks with metal threaded

ports carry high shock and vibration ratings and are well-suited or many types o

environments. The combination o Ballus multiple interace blocks, cordsets and

torque wrenches, provides a robust IP67 solution or a wet environment.

For use in

veriying signal

status

By incorporating passive technology, these

blocks concentrate signals into one homerun

cordset. The dual density connectors allow or

two signals per port. A typical application would

include a Ballu V-Twin magnetic eld sensor

used with pneumatic cylinders. The V-Twinprovides two sensors with a single connector,

which sends both signals through the single

cordset back to the high density MIB. This so-

lution reduces sensor and cabling costs without

sacricing reliability or quality.

While DIN & Industry style connectors are used

in many industrial automation applications, the

most popular uses are with simple motors and

solenoid valves. As with most solenoid valve

applications a DIN or Industry style connector is

required to switch the valves position. Whether

the application is clamping a part or moving

an object, the Ballu valve connector can be

used to pass the control signal to the valve.

Integrated LEDs allow or easy recognition o

solenoid position.

Control and Network Power

These power supplies were designed by Ballu with control

products in mind, so you can be sure they will integrate perectly

with your control suite.

The PS Series o ultra reliable power supplies come in a wide

range o 24 V DC models with single or 3-phase inputs. With

current ranges rom 0.75 A (18 W) to 40 A (960 W), there is a

size or most applications. But i more power is needed, con-

nect multiple power supplies together (parallel mode) or additive

current capacity.

Network Products

Ballus ever growing line o networking products provide fexibility

in almost any control architecture. Metal housed, ully potted

modules give you the piece o mind when placing these modules

in any environment. Users can choose rom the wide range o

network protocols available.
