Simply connecting the sensor/actuator boxes to the control system

If sensor/actuator signals are to be collected near decentral units and forwarded to the control system, the new sensor/actuator boxes with rear flat-ribbon cable connection provide advantages. They make it possible to establish a direct connection to all commonly used control systems in the market quickly and easily.


The sensor/actuator box is mounted directly on the control cabinet or control box wall. A mounting cutout is the only preparation needed. The grommet at the rear side of the box is used for sealing.

The PLC connection is especially easy due to the use of standardized, pre-assembled conductors in combination with PLC front adapters from the VARIOFACE system cabling range. Error sources and wiring costs are minimized.

For power supply, a MINI COMBICON connector is additionally provided at the rear side of the box. The customary features of the SPEEDCON sensor/actuator box are available outside the control cabinet. The box can be connected with sensors or actuators using standardized M12 connectors and sensor/actuator cables.
