A compact service interface for switch and control cabinets

Thanks to the new FrontCom Vario service interface, authorised persons can connect diagnostic hardware using a data cable or an optional power cable and gain direct access to defined processes from outside. A service interface also reduces the risks of incorrect operation in the control cabinet interior, prevents accidents and does not impair the degree of protection offered by the cabinet and/or housing.

The unit combines power, signal and data interfaces in half the space of the current market standard. With outer dimensions of 67 x 133mm (250mm maximum when folded out), the service interface plug is very compact.

The installation cut-out is compatible with the 52 x 91mm market standard, while the attractive housing is impact-resistant and IP65 rated. The single frame delivers outstanding security - thanks to both the closing knob and a lock variant, which only grants access to authorised personnel. A magnet on the housing cover fixes the cover to the metal cabinet wall when opening, preventing the cover from folding down and allowing an operator to work with both hands.

More than 5,000 combinations are possible, and every FrontCom Vario variant can be designed with a modular structure using different frames.

Weidmüller also provides an online configurator so you can find and configure suitable interfaces on the Internet from the 5,000 combinations. The result is a storable parts list containing all the individual components, which can be instantly queried online following the configuration process.
