Sensor Accessories

Schneider Electric Telemecanique Sensors XZ range of machine cabling accessories include a wide range of connectors, cord sets and connection boxes. The pre-wired connectors are designed for easy connection of sensors with connectors to PLC inputs and terminal blocks. The jumper cables are used to connect sensors with connectors to splitter blocks. The connector adaptors transform a sensor with terminals into a sensor with connectors.
Schneider Electric Telemecanique Cables include: PUR cables designed for the most demanding industrial requirements. They are UL certified, halogen free and have a high degree of protection (IP67 and IP69K). PUR shielded cables are designed for analogical signals in disturbed electromagnetic environments. PVC cables are recommended for machines in non-demanding environments and subject to moderate mechanical stress. All three cables perform in extreme temperatures (-35 to 90 degrees Celsius), prevent torsion (bending radius up to 15 times its diameter in dynamic operation) and have nominal voltage of 320 V and insulation voltage of 2.5 kV.

Limit switches are electromechanical switches that operate based on the movement or presence of an object. They are designed to detect the presence of an object using an actuator connected to a series of contacts to detect the presence and proximity or absence of a material or object. When the switch’s actuator is moved by an object it will change the state of an electronic contact set. This movement signals that some preset limit has been reached. There are many different ways a switch can be actuated depending on the type of switch that is being used. Some use a roller and lever, some use a button or plunger, while others might use a rotating arm and rod attached to the main body of a switch. The type of switch that is used will largely be dictated by the specific application.
Where are limit switches used? Limit switches can be used to tally or count items, so that when a limit is reached, the switch will open or close. This open and closing action can be counted by a controller allowing the action to be totalized. Limit switches can be used as safety interlocks to prevent machine parts from moving any further when specific point is reached. Limit switches are also commonly used in larger control systems. For example, when a certain limit is reached, the actuator can deactivate or activate a device to prevent it from malfunctioning.
