Connecting analog sensors
Connect the analog sensor by a supplied RJ-11 (6P4C) cable to any analog port "A1 .. A8" or "Sensor" port. The determination of the sensor type and connection will occur automatically.
Note |
---|
If strong electromagnetic interference is present, we recommend using a 3-pair cable CAN FTP for sensor connection! |
6P4C RJ11 cable wiring/pinouts
1- Orange, 2- White Blue, 3- Blue, 4 - White Orange
Colors are true for this telephone cable. Both ends match the colors and pinouts (identical).
Please refer to the RJ connectors comparison table:
Daisy chain connection
Some of the analog sensors can be connected to a daisy chain. Please refer to the article "Chain Connection of analog sensors".
