Siemens MOTION-CONNECT 500 Encoder Cable, 3m

Description

This is a pre-assembled MOTION-CONNECT 500 signal cable manufactured by Siemens, designed for reliable communication in motion control systems. With a length of 3 meters, it provides a flexible yet robust connection between an incremental encoder and a servo drive. The cable is terminated with an M23 12-pin connector on the motor side and a Sub-D 9-pin connector for the drive interface, making it suitable for a wide range of Siemens SINAMICS and SIMODRIVE applications.

FAQ

Yes, this cable is fully compatible with the booksize and chassis format SINAMICS S120 drives that utilize the SMC/SME modules for encoder feedback.

This cable is designed for incremental encoders that output a sine/cosine 1 Vpp (Voltage peak-to-peak) signal, which is a standard for high-resolution feedback in servo applications.

The MOTION-CONNECT 500 series is designed for fixed installation or occasional flexing. For continuous flexing applications, such as in a dynamic cable carrier, the more robust MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS series (e.g., 6FX8) is recommended by Siemens.
