K60

K45

K20

Three coordinated series of AS?Interface compact modules with digital and analog compact modules and a high degree of protection are available for use in the field:

• Series K60 (digital and analog)
• Series K45 (digital)
• Series K20 (digital)

All compact modules are characterized by particularly simple handling. The K60 and K45 modules are mounted with a mounting plate. The mounting plate is used to mount the AS?Interface flat cables and enables mounting on a wall or standard mounting rail.

The particularly narrow K20 modules are directly mounted without a mounting plate and connected to the AS?Interface using a round cable.

Connection types

For the most flexible connection of different sensors and actuators possible, the following pin assignments are available on the I/O modules with M12 sockets:

Standard assignment

With the standard assignment, one sensor/actuator is connected per M12 socket. In this case the signal for the outputs is acquired at PIN4 while the signal for the inputs is acquired at PIN4 and PIN2. As a result, sensors can be connected directly to PIN2 and PIN4.

Y assignment

With the Y assignment, two sensors or two actuators can be connected to one M12 socket. In this case, both PIN4 and PIN2 are provided for one sensor signal and one actuator signal on each M12 socket.

Y?II assignment

The Y-II assignment offers the following options:

• Individual connection of a sensor/actuator to one M12 socket
• Connection of two sensors/actuators to one M12 socket as follows:
  • The signal of the first sensor/actuator is connected to PIN4 of the first socket.
  • The signal of the second sensor/actuator is connected to PIN2 of the first socket and to PIN4 of the second socket.
  • In this case, the second socket is not required and is closed with a sealing cap.
