You wish to prevent all downtime in robot-assisted production. We help
you with products that report when the conductors are worn down.
Let’s connect.
You want to combine the advantages of fibre-optic cables with practical
connectivity technology. Then POF-based cables are exactly the right solution
for you. You will also need RJ45 to POF media converters to connect devices

the attenuation eventually reaches a point where communication is no longer
possible. You want to avoid any of the downtime this might cause.
And that‘s possible with our new AIDA-compliant FreeCon Active media
converter. Protected by a durable metal housing, it converts transmission media
from copper (RJ45) to POF. At the same time, it monitors the optical power
budget on the POF distances in real time. If the tolerances are exceeded, our
media converters send an alarm via PROFINET to the relevant controller.
This facilitates quick, preventative maintenance.
This and other advantages makes our FreeCon media converter the ideal product

Process | Serial fibre-optic converters
Serial fibre-optic converters
Extend serial transmission channels to up to 5 km
and protect them from electromagnetic interference
Within large facilities, you have to transmit serial
data securely over long distances. Our solutions can
handle this without any losses. Let’s connect.
Status signals are sent to serial interfaces in many
applications. For far-reaching systems, the 15 metre limit on
cable length, e.g. using copper-based interfaces for RS-232
transmission, quickly becomes a restricting factor.
We offer a reliable solution for this application with our
media converters, which convert serial signals from an
RS-232/422/485 port into fibre-optic signals.
Fibre-optics with multimode technology make it possible
to transmit over distances of up to 5 km without additional
power boosters. Let’s connect.
Data transmission without losses
The serial baud rate of connected devices is
recognised automatically. If the baud rate should
change, the signal is still routed without data
losses.

Process | SAFESERIES SIL relays
SAFESERIES SIL relays
Functional safety for process applications
When dealing with the core elements of a system with a large
risk potential, it is especially critical to have the best system
solution in place. Our SIL relays reliably switch off your systems
in critical situations – and they have all been accredited.
Let’s connect.
Whether for a burner control system, secure emergency shut down
or, for example, for pump controllers – our safety relay guarantees safe
conditions and encompasses highly superior and significant features.
Their integration into distributed control systems (DCSs) is even better,
with an input filter which makes the SIL circuit immune to the test
impulse which is typically used by a DCS. You will also benefit from
simple maintenance: the fuses are accessible from the outside and
can easily be changed. You can see the status of the safety and the
monitoring devices clearly on the displays mounted directly to the
device.
All devices are accredited though certification by the internationally
recognised TÜV-NORD group – for secure process applications around
the globe. Let’s connect.
Safe control of back-up systems
Equipped with wide range input voltages
in the monitoring circuit from 24 V AC/DC
to 230 V AC/DC, the relay is designed for
individual use, e.g. in back-up systems or the
overfill prevention devices of tank farms.
Safe monitoring of furnace
firing systems
The feed-in of fuel must be interrupted as soon
as a boiler plant reaches any safety criterion
limits. The SAFESERIES offers you a safety
switch-off for the feed-in of fuel to furnace firing
systems up to safety integrity level (SIL) 3.

Safe application in corrosive atmospheres
SIL in practice – part 2
For no less than 30 days
the safety relay successfully
withstood flowing corrosive
gases in the Weidmüller
laboratory. This successful
outcome is due to additional
protective measures for the
electronics – clear added value
for applications such as offshore
or chemical facilities.
O ffshore facilities such
as wind generators
or oil platforms are
constantly doused
with salt spray. Certain chemical
facilities are exposed to
traces of chlorine or hydrogen
sulphide in the ambient air.
Atmospheres of this kind are
toxic for metallic materials, as
they cause corrosive damage,
thus leading to premature
wear of installed equipment.
This phenomenon is by no
means restricted to exposed
components. Even the control
cabinet is not able, in all cases,
to protect components from ➜

using our interface units in the marshalling cabinets. Let’s connect.
The main goals of the Yokogawa CS3000 and Prosafe interfaces are to prevent
cabling errors, save space in the electronics cabinet and save time and costs in
the construction of electronics cabinets.
This is where our interface units for the Yokogawa CS3000 and ProSafe
controllers score: the compact interfaces minimise cabling costs and offer
significant benefits such as the regulated power supply with control relay.
If required we supply the components with a coating according to
corrosion class G3.
These benefits and more will enable you to establish the optimum connection
between field elements and input/output cards from Yokogawa. Let’s connect.

You can shut down time when exchanging Distributed Control Systems
(DSC) by preparing the exchange ahead of time with our WDK-2.5
adapter. Let’s connect.
When exchanging or upgrading system hardware like I/O modules, you try your
best to change as few components as possible. The whole process needs to be as
quick as possible in order to minimise shut down.
We have developed practical adapter solutions especially for this application. Use
our plug adapters to connect assembled wires to the Distributed Control System
in advance and to sort and assign the individual signals accordingly.
When installing new hardware you then plug these directly into the extisting WDK
marshalling terminals.
Thanks to the pre-configured pluggable wires, you effectively reduce the time and
cost of exchanging Distributed Control Systems and save time in re-connecting to
the existing marshalling terminals. Let’s connect.

KLHA shielding yoke support and SH 4C busbar support
More compact shielding with conducting, directly mountable holders
Promoting safety shielding, even in the smallest space. Our new
shielding yoke support and busbar support make this possible. They
avoid the need for additional ground strip because they have direct
contact to the mounting plate. Let’s connect.
Traditional electromagnetic shielding are high assemblies, e.g. because they need
mounting rails.
With our KLHA shielding yoke support, you can realise a compact and location
independent electromagnetic shielding. Thanks to this direct contact to the
shielding, the shielding yoke support replaces the need for a 10 x 3 mm rail.
It has room for up to seven shielding yokes in two different heights. Our SH-4C
busbar support keep the 10 x 3 mm busbars in only 19 mm height.
Install lower than before with this solution - combined with our
established, robust assembly. Let’s connect.

It isn‘t only during cabinet start up that you want to avoid costly individual
wiring on the field side. Trouble-free testing during operation should also avoid
shutdowns and saves time and costs.
A pre-made test wire customised for use with the TA 4 StB test adapter goes a
long way towards simplifying and accelerating the process of assigning test wires.
They can also be connected in an instant. Our test adapters now offer these
advantages for an even broader terminal block range.
