Flexible PLC cabling system
Phoenix Contact's VarioFace cabling system for PLCs reduces I/O wiring
time by replacing conventional cabling with convenient plug-in
connections. New to the system is the PLV-VT range of passive interface
terminal blocks, which allow eight interface channels, comprising any
combination of passive, relay and solid state relay terminals, to be
accommodated in just 50mm of mounting space on a standard DIN rail.
The new terminals are simply plugged into a PLC relay adaptor, which
connects them to a VarioFace ready-terminated plug-in cable. The remote
end of the cable plugs into the PLC input or output card via an
easy-to-fit faceplate, supplied in versions to suit most popular types of
PLC.
PLC-VT terminals are fully compatible with a wide range of standard
Phoenix Contact accessories, including test plugs, marking products and
links. The terminals feature screw-clamp connectors for the field wiring,
and can accept flexible cables from 0.2mm2 to 2.5mm2, or solid cables
from 0.2mm2 to 4mm2.
