Field Terminal Assembly (FTA)
New interfaces for the Honeywell Experion® PKS C300 controller
Weidmüller’s new interfaces and pre-assembled cables allow you to wire up
I/O cards from Honeywell’s C300 controller quickly and simply in the field.
The IOTAs (Input Output Terminal Assemblies) are designed using Weidmüller
PCB connectors and terminals. This design gives you the flexibility to connect directly
to the field cabling wire to wire or with a pre-assembled cable in combination
with Weidmuller‘s FTAs. In comparison to traditional wire-to-wire cabling, the new
Weidmuller FTAs and pre-cabling solution offer a highly efficient method of wiring
between I/O modules and the field.
Concise wiring in the electrical cabinet is possible because multicore cables are
used instead of individual wires. The cable harness can be delivered with double
or single connectors and even with unterminated ends.
The housing provides easy handling as well as a safe, firm connection to the IOTA.
It also allows you to use cables with large cross-sections
High current switching capability
The isolated digital output FTAs provide a high
current switching capacity in a compact design
Honeywell C300 – Selection guide
The following selection guides enable you to quickly and easily choose the correct products according to your application needs:
STEP 1: Choose the IOTA to be used.
STEP 2: In this column you can find the number and type of cable required to make the connection.
STEP 3: Choose the most suitable interface for the application.
Example: For CC-TDIL01 it’s possible to select different options.
Solution 1: Pre-assembled cable C300-32B-320B (2 units)
Interface: 1221550000 (1 unit)
Solution 2: Pre-assembled cable C300-32B-320B (2 units)
Interface: 1222980000 (2 units)
Honeywell C300 - FTA C300
Input/output passive interface for digital cards
Passive interfaces (FTA) for connecting the Honeywell
C300 digital IOTAs.
• Clearly labelled: Same connector and position on the
FTA and on the IOTA
• LED and fuse protection per channel (optional)
• Possibility of feeding the IOTA from the FTA (fuse
protected)
• Screw or tension clamp connection
Honeywell C300 - FTA C300
Input/output passive interface for analogue
and digital cards
Passive interfaces (FTA) for connecting the Honeywell
C300 analogue IOTAs.
• Same connector and position on the FTA and on the
IOTA
• 2 units can also be used for digital IOTAs
• Disconnecting plugs and test points (2 mm in diameter)
for voltage and current measurements
• M4 connection for the shielding
Honeywell C300 - FTA C300
Isolated output interface for digital cards
Passive interfaces (FTA) for connecting the Honeywell
C300 analogue IOTAs.
• Clearly labelled: Same connector and position on the
FTA and on the IOTA
• Input/output reinforced insulation (basic between
contacts)
• Possibility of powering the IOTA from the FTA
• Screw or tension clamp connection
PLC Front Adapter (FAD)
New Front Adapters for different PLC Cards.
Easy and fast field wiring on PLC I/O cards with new front adapters.
In comparison to traditional wire-to-wire cabling, the new front adapters (FAD),
in combination with Weidmuller‘s interface range, offer a much more efficient
method for field wiring on PLCs‘ I/O cards.
Both can be connected to the standard
active or passive interfaces range or to
the relays or optos from
Weidmüller‘s MICROSERIES.
But the method with FADs is
significantly easier and faster
than with traditional
wire-to-wire cabling.
The pre-assembled cables are
available in different lengths.
Front adapter selection table for PLC (FAD) and interface modules.
Front adapters for PLCs (FAD-UNIV) are an easy solution for wiring I/O and supply signals from the PLC to the applications. Each signal is taken at a 1:1 relation to the
RSF ribbon connector (digital signals) or SUB-D (analogue signals) using adequate (PAC) pre-assembled cables (table 1).
In addition, we offer a wide range of interfaces (active and passive) for the cards of several major manufacturers that allow the use of our MICROSERIES opto modules
and relays.
Selection table:
Choose your PLC card in steps 1 to 3. In step 4 you will find the PLC (FAD) front adapters, the pre-assembled cable (PAC) and the group of interfaces that can be used
(in Table 1 or Table 2). In step 5, choose the most adequate interface for your application.
