Product range of our sensor actuator boxes

M12 EX – Distribution boxes with ATEX and IECEx approval

Standardized wiring of sensors in explosion-protected areas

Our new M12 EX distribution boxes are ATEX- and IECEx-approved. They are used in explosion-protected areas for the transmission of intrinsically safe circuits up to and including Zone 1. The integrated PUSH IN connection enables particularly fast, safe and efficient cabling in the field. Different wiring variants transmit up to eight different intrinsically safe circuits.

M12 EX – Distribution boxes with ATEX and IECEx approval
  • Standardized, approved cabling in explosion-protected areas
  • Compact design with ATEX and IECEx approval
  • PUSH IN connection for fast and secure contacting
  • Three different wiring variants for every application
  • Versions with plastic or zinc die-cast hood

Sensor actuator logic distribution boxes

Four signals at a time are combined either via an AND or an OR circuit. A four-pin M12 connector transmits the data. Only one input for a maximum of four sensors is required on the PLC.

Sensor actuator logic distribution boxes
  • Available with AND circuit or with an AND and an OR circuit
  • Particularly space-saving design
  • Available in two sizes: with either four-way or eight-way M8 distribution boxes
