PHOENIX Input module 2311331 UM-2KS40/AI16/CS/Z/SO180

The PHOENIX CONTACT Input Module 2311331 (UM-2KS40/AI16/CS/Z/SO180) is a pre-assembled, passive interface cable designed for high-integrity analog signal acquisition in industrial automation systems. It serves as a critical, noise-resistant bridge, connecting analog sensors in the field directly to a compatible analog input (AI) channel on a PHOENIX CONTACT modular I/O block (e.g., Inline series). The integrated shielding and specific connector design ensure maximum signal integrity for precise measurement and control.

Key Features & Benefits

• Pre-assembled for Reliability: Factory-terminated connectors eliminate on-site wiring errors, ensure perfect crimping, and significantly reduce installation time, guaranteeing a vibration-proof connection.

• Optimized for Analog Input (AI): The "AI16" connector is mechanically keyed to mate specifically with PHOENIX CONTACT analog input modules, preventing incorrect insertion and ensuring a secure fit.

• Superior Signal Integrity: The 2KS designation indicates a twisted pair and overall braided shield, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for accurate acquisition of sensitive analog signals (e.g., 4...20 mA, 0...10 V, RTD, thermocouple).

• Flexible Installation: The SO180 variant features a angled (180°) connector on the field side, allowing for optimized cable routing in tight control cabinet spaces and reducing mechanical strain on the connection.

• Passive and Robust: Requires no external power or configuration. The durable PUR jacket offers resistance to oil, abrasion, and chemicals.

Technical Specifications

Applications

This interface cable is essential for applications requiring precise and reliable analog measurement. Its primary uses include:

• Connecting to Analog Input Modules: On PHOENIX CONTACT Inline or other modular I/O stations.

• Process Measurement: Wiring for 2-wire analog sensors such as pressure transmitters, level sensors, and flow meters providing a 4...20 mA signal.

• Temperature Monitoring: Connecting RTD or thermocouple sensors (when used with appropriate analog input modules capable of direct measurement).

• Factory Automation: Integrating analog measurement devices in assembly, packaging, and test systems.

• Any application where signal accuracy is critical and must be protected from electrical noise.

Compatibility & Integration Notes

• This is a passive interface cable. It requires a compatible PHOENIX CONTACT Analog Input (AI) module to function.

• The angled connector (SO180) is designed to save space and allow for cleaner cable management within the control cabinet.

• The twisted pair and shielding are critical for running analog signals through electrically noisy industrial environments.
