Description

The Siemens 6FX8002-2EQ20-1BA0 is a high-quality, prefabricated signal cable designed for industrial motion control applications. As part of the Siemens SINAMICS and SIMOTICS connectivity portfolio, this cable is engineered for trailing applications, ensuring reliable signal transmission in dynamic environments where cables are subject to continuous movement and mechanical stress.

Features

• Prefabricated Design: Factory-assembled with high-grade connectors to ensure optimal signal integrity and reduce installation time.
• Trailing Capability: Specifically constructed to withstand the mechanical demands of cable carriers and moving machine components.
• Length: 10 meters, providing sufficient reach for standard machine configurations.
• Compatibility: Designed for integration with Siemens MC800 motion control systems and associated drive components.

Applications

This signal cable is primarily utilized in industrial automation systems, including CNC machinery, robotics, and automated production lines where reliable feedback and control signals are required between the controller and the motor/drive interface.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Handling: Avoid sharp bends or kinks during installation. Ensure the minimum bend radius is maintained according to Siemens cable specifications for trailing applications.
• Routing: Route cables away from high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Securing: Use appropriate strain relief and cable ties in cable tracks to prevent excessive tension or abrasion.
• Inspection: Ensure connectors are fully seated and locked before powering on the system.

FAQ

Is this cable suitable for static applications?

While designed for trailing (dynamic) applications, this cable is also suitable for static installations, provided the minimum bend radius requirements are respected.

Can this cable be extended?

It is recommended to use the specified 10-meter length as provided. Extending signal cables can introduce signal degradation and is generally not recommended for high-speed motion control feedback loops.
