Product Overview
The PHOENIX CONTACT Universal Module 2311399 (UM-2KS50/UNI/CS/Z/SO180) is a highly versatile, pre-assembled interface cable designed to provide the ultimate flexibility for connecting field devices to modular I/O systems. It combines a universal screw-clamp connection for maximum field-side adaptability with a pre-terminated, shielded system-side connection for guaranteed reliability. The integrated 180-degree angled connector ensures optimal cable routing in space-constrained control cabinets, making it an ideal solution for a vast range of sensors and actuators in industrial automation.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Ultimate Field-Side Flexibility (UNI): The universal screw terminal accepts any standard solid or stranded wire (up to 1.5 mm² / AWG 16), allowing for direct connection to virtually any 2-wire sensor or actuator without specialized connectors.
-
Optimized Cabinet Routing (SO180): The 180-degree angled connector on the system side allows for clean, logical, and space-saving cable management within the control panel, reducing bending radii and mechanical strain.
-
Pre-assembled Reliability: Factory-crimped connectors ensure perfect termination, eliminate installation errors, and provide a vibration-proof connection to the I/O module, guaranteeing signal integrity from the start.
-
Superior Noise Immunity: The 2KS specification indicates a twisted pair design with an overall braided shield, offering excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) for both analog and digital signals.
-
Tool-Less Disconnect (Z): The "Z" in the ordering code signifies that the system-side connector features a locking lever for quick, tool-less insertion and removal, significantly simplifying maintenance and module replacement.
Technical Specifications
Applications
This universal module is the perfect solution for a wide array of connection tasks in industrial control panels, including:
-
Connecting to Analog I/O Modules: Wiring 2-wire 4...20 mA or 0...10 V sensors (e.g., pressure, temperature, level) and actuators.
-
Connecting to Digital I/O Modules: Wiring 2-wire digital sensors (e.g., inductive, photoelectric) and actuators (e.g., solenoids, small valves).
-
Mixed Cabinet Environments: Ideal for panels with a high density of I/O modules where space optimization and clean routing are critical.
-
Maintenance and Retrofitting: The universal terminal and tool-less disconnect make it excellent for quick replacements or system modifications.
Compatibility & Integration Notes
-
This is a passive interface module. It must be used with a compatible PHOENIX CONTACT I/O module (e.g., from the Inline family).
-
The system-side connector is designed to plug directly into a specific type of I/O module port.
-
The twisted and shielded design is critical for protecting signals in electrically noisy environments.
