AutomationDirect Adds Multiport Junction Blocks for Sensors
Cumming, GA --- May 20, 2009 --- AutomationDirect now offers Zip-Port(TM) multiport junction blocks, that provide time, cost and space savings by allowing multiple sensors to be wired to a single block with one cable connecting to the control panel.
Zip-Ports junction blocks are available in field wireable or five-meter cable versions, feature four and five-pin M12 connectors in four, six and eight-port models, and offer a choice of one or two I/O per port. The blocks provide 24 VDC and 120 VDC/AC operation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C (-4°F to +176°F) and also provide an IP67 degree of protection when all ports are either connected or covered with recommended protective caps.
The five-meter integrated cable series come with three 18-gauge wires for power connection and four to sixteen 22-gauge wires for I/O connections, depending on the number of ports.
The field-wireable junction blocks allow the installer the option of using his cables of choice and only the I/O necessary.
