Three phase MEF 3/1 N (with neutral wire): maximum 4 × 440 V AC, 3-20 A.
Three phase MEF 3/1 and MEF 3/2 (book type): maximum 3 × 600 V AC, current 8-180 A, suitable for frequency converters and switching power supplies.
The filter should be installed as close as possible to the incoming point of the control cabinet, and the grounding strip should be short and have low impedance.
1.6 Relays and Safety Relays
Murrelektronik offers over 600 active interface modules. The MIRO 6.2 series terminal relay has a width of only 6.2 mm, with a bridging system, coil voltage ranging from 6 V to 230 V AC/DC, contact capacity of 6 A (AC-12), and LED indication. The RMM series relays use screw terminals and provide various contact forms such as 1 NO, 1 NC, 2 NO/NC, with a maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC/300 V DC.
MIRO SAFE+safety relays are designed for applications such as emergency stop, protective doors, dual hand control, light curtains, and safety magnetic switches, with a maximum performance level of e (PLe) and a safety integrity level of SIL 3. For example, model 3000-33113-3020025 has 3 safety contacts (8 A), an input voltage of 24 V DC/AC, and a service life of 20 years. The expansion module can increase the number of safety contacts to 4 NO.
1.7 Optocouplers and Semiconductor Switches
The optocoupler module has no mechanical contacts and is suitable for high-frequency switches and long-life applications. MIRO 6.2 optocoupler provides transistor output (6 A, switching time 15/31 μ s) or three terminal bidirectional thyristor output (4 A, zero potential switch). The AMMS/AMMD series uses screw terminals with dual terminal output sides for easy parallel wiring.
1.8 Active and Passive Interface Technology
The active interface module is used to convert measured values (such as 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-10 V) into digital signals or standard analog signals, and achieve electrical isolation. The passive interface module provides SUB-D connectors, flat cable connectors, etc. for signal distribution inside the control cabinet.
Chapter 2: Interface Technology - Flexible Connection from Panel to Field
2.1 Front panel interface - Modlink MSDD
The Modlink MSDD series provides front-end interfaces with IP65 protection level for control cabinets and operation panels. Its modular design includes plastic or metal mounting frames (1 or 2 positions), various power sockets, and data inserts. The power sockets cover national standards such as Germany (VDE, white/yellow), France (UTE), the United States (NEMA 5-15/GFCI), the United Kingdom (BS), Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia, India, China, Brazil, etc. The rated current is 10-16A and the voltage is 125-250 V AC. Data inserts include RJ45 (CAT5e/CAT6A), USB (Type A), SUB-D9/15/25, DVI, BNC, etc. The combination insert can provide both power and data interfaces, such as the "German socket+RJ45+USB" kit. All modules support 3mm dual key or Daimler specific locking method.
2.2 Control Cabinet Interface and Cable Entry System - Modlink MPV
Modlink MPV is a modular cable entry system that allows pre installed M12, RJ45, 7/8 ", fiber optic, and other connectors to pass through the control cabinet wall without the need for on-site wiring. The frame is available in single port (35 × 52 mm) and double port (35 × 112 mm) options, with a protection level of IP65. The insert includes:
M12 (5-pin A/B encoding, 6-pin Cube67, 8-pin)
M12+SUB-D9 combination
7/8 "spring terminal
RJ45 metal type (CAT6)
blind flange
In addition, adapters for AS Interface cables and various sizes of cable glands (cable diameter 3-31 mm) are also provided, as well as pre assembled M12 control cabinet entrance systems.
2.3 Hybrid fieldbus coupling
The active hybrid fieldbus coupler integrates repeater and control cabinet interface functions, and has the following characteristics:
PROFIBUS FMS/DP electrical isolation
Three independent PROFIBUS ports, each port electrically isolated
Automatic baud rate detection (switchable during runtime)
Each PROFIBUS segment can cascade up to 31 modules
Integrated terminal resistor
Segment length: 200 m at 1.5 Mbit/s, 100 m at 12 Mbit/s
Passive couplers only provide pure through connections.
2.4 Lighting Components - Modlight Series
The Modlight Pro signal tower (diameter 50/70 mm) uses LED modules with color options of red, yellow, green, blue, and white. It can be quickly assembled through a bayonet lock, and the base supports ground installation, tube installation, or M12 connection. Modlight30 (30 mm) is a compact model. Comlight57 is a 57 mm single light status indicator. Modlight Illuminix machine lights are divided into:
Slim Line:IP54, Power range of 4 to 32 W, M8 connection, expandable (C series).
Classic Line:IP67, Power 6-24 W, M12 connection.
Xtreme:IP69K,27 W, Suitable for high-pressure flushing environment.
All LED lights are of daylight quality and have a long lifespan without maintenance.
2.5 Control Equipment - Emergency Stop and Reset Buttons
Murrelektronik offers emergency stop and reset buttons with M12 pre wired connections, with a diameter of 42 mm or 72 mm. The emergency stop button has 2 forward disconnect NC contacts and can be optionally equipped with a protective cover (72P). The reset button can be equipped with 1 or 2 NO contacts, and can be optionally illuminated with an LED ring. There are 4-pin, 5-pin, or 8-pin M12 connection methods to achieve plug and play and avoid wiring errors.
