Connecting cable

Connecting cable (fieldbus/network cable)
Use a suitable cable for your fieldbus system. Take the cable type from the description for the respect­
ive bus node. Also take into account here the distance and the fieldbus baud rate.
Connecting cable
Use a connecting cable with a sufficient cable cross-section. Avoid long distances between the power unit
and the MSE6-E2M. Long cables reduce the voltage supplied by the power supply unit.
Preparing the connecting cable
Caution
The position of the pins on the plug connector is different from that on the socket!
– For pin allocation of the fieldbus interface, see description for the respective field­
bus node.
– The operating voltage and load voltage connections are in the form of plug connect­
ors. Information on the pin allocation can be found in the following chapters.
Use plug connectors and sockets from the Festo product range which match the outside
diameter of the cables used.
Connect the plugs and cables as follows (example):
1. Open the plugs/sockets as follows:
– Power supply socket:
• Insert the mains power socket into the operating voltage connection of the MSE6-E2M.
• Unscrew the housing of the socket.
• Then remove the connecting part of the socket, which is inserted in the operating voltage
connection.
