The IP67-protected sensor/actuator boxes from WAGO can collect signals local to the machine. This type of data acquisition provides an alternative if neither IP67 fieldbus technology nor parallel wiring can be applied. The connection to the switchgear cabinet is made either via fixed PUR halogen-free cable or via an M16 plug-in connector. Besides its compact and narrow design, the modules feature an innovative marking system which allows the use of individual markers (one marker per M8 connection) or marker strips. Just like the M12 sensor/actuator boxes, the M8 versions can be clipped to one another using distance modules or connection clips.www.wago.com
