Connection modules

Actuators and sensors are connected using commercially-available 5‑contact M12 plugs on the connection module. The connection module is plugged onto the electronics module, and screwed to the latter. The following connection modules (to be ordered separately) are available for the above-mentioned electronics modules:

• CM IO 4x M12 (for EM DI and EM DO)
• CM IO 8x M12 (for EM DI)

Depending on the selected connection module, each plug for the 8-channel digital input module has one or two channels:

• 4 x M12 round plug connections with 2 channels per plug (double assignment)
• 8 x M12 round plug connections with 1 channel per plug (single assignment)
