The connector adapter of control cable X1 must be connected with interface X1 and
screwed tightly to the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner. The connector adapter of cable
X2, or else the X2 dummy cap (without a cable), must also be screwed tightly to the
SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner. Threaded drill holes are located on the top of the
scanner housing for this purpose. If one of the two connection housings is missing, the
SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner no longer meets the requirements of protection type 65.
For information on the assignment of the connector, please refer to Chapter 2.2 and 9.5
the connection and operating instructions of the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner.

Housing with sealing ring and fastening bolts
Cable screw coupling (M16) with dummy plugs
Sub-D9 connector and/or Sub-D15 connector, each with a solder connection

Points to Consider When Preparing and Laying the Cables

The cross-section of cable X1 must be at least 0.5 mm
The outer diameter of the cable must be between 6.5 mm and 10 mm.
The maximum cable length for X1 is 50 m.
The maximum cable length for X2 is 10 m (for RS232).
The maximum cable length for X2 is 50 m (for RS422, twisted pair).
Use shielded cables.
Connect the cable shielding with PE to the electronics cabinet only.
The cables must not be laid loose.
Scanner control cables may not be laid in a stand parallel to power supply cables for
machines. This minimizes the effects of inductive interference factors from motors
carrying high current. In addition, the cables should be laid so that they cannot be
damaged (e.g. by being crushed or pinched).
Cabling prepared for connection to the scanner is available as an optional accessory in
various lengths and for both interfaces. For further information, see Chapter 13.
