The crimped ends of the cables can be inserted directly into the push-in terminals. The entire cable bundle is guided downwards, eliminating the need to fit each cable into each channel. This not only provides a sophisticated solution for distribution cabinet wiring but also saves space and ensures clarity. In distribution boxes, the modules offering this connection can be mounted on the top edge of the box without disrupting the installation. The transparent hinged cover, which can be locked in multiple positions, ensures a clear view through the digital display at all times and allows for internal color-coding of terminal functions. The terminals can be individually removed and are color-coded to prevent confusion, meaning devices can be replaced seamlessly.
I/O is displayed and diagnostics are performed centrally using backlit numbers. There is no need to assign labels to the LEDs. This configuration also ensures that information can be read even in the dark. Dual LEDs are used to indicate an overload on an output on a specific base per channel.
The internally bridged AS-i and AUX (auxiliary voltage) terminal contacts reach a full 8 A, eliminating the need for double cable ferrules at the terminal points.
The sensor power supply for the module can be easily switched between an internal supply from AS-i and an external source via AUX. This reduces the number of devices required.
Thanks to the reliable functional isolation between AS-i and AUX, decentralized system components can be safely deactivated by disabling AUX when using these modules. This saves costs and increases plant availability.
For those seeking greater efficiency when installing the AS-Interface in the control cabinet, the KE5 is the ideal solution.
