Properties of the connection technology
Properties of the connection technology Explanation
Rapid module exchange during maintenance
•
(cable duct remains closed)
More user-friendly, because the module
•
wiring is easily accessible
No loosening of the wiring when replacing a
•
module
No electrical damage to the module is
•
possible, because it is not yet electrically
connected
Reduced wiring effort on the front cable
•
connector
Reduction of the interference emission and
•
optimization of the interference immunity
Simplified ordering
•
Flexible cable storage space
•
Safe replacement of modules
•
Sufficient space for clear identification and
•
user-specific labeling, e.g. symbolic
addresses
