Product Description

The ZK1000-0030 from the Beckhoff ZK Motor Cable Series is a crucial component that guarantees a seamless connection between various industrial market equipment. With its RS232 and RS485 interfaces, this connection is ideal for programming and convenient for data transfer setup.

This cable, which has a D-sub socket connector type, is made to satisfy the intricate needs of COM1 (RS232) and COM2 (RS232/485). It can be used in a variety of settings because of its design, which makes it advantageous in a wide range of communication protocols. The pin arrangement is carefully planned to accommodate intricate signaling requirements: To provide a positive signal flow, Pin 1 is allocated to COM2 RS485 D+. For simple serial transmission, pins 2 and 3 are connected to COM1 RS232 with TxD and RxD, respectively. Pins 5 and 9 are GND, whereas Pin 4 provides 5V, which is required to power other devices. Also, Pin 6 has the COM2 RS485 D- which forms half of a differential pair for the RS485 signals used for noise-immune data transfer over longer distances. Pins 7 and 8 are used for COM2 RS232 RxD and TxD which allow exchanging data through the same connector. This cable is classified as a 1:1 cable, suitable for programming applications, 5 meters in length at most to avoid the need for signal-repeating amplifiers. The dimensions of the plug connector are given, but not defined so it gives some freedom in implementation based on the installation.

The ZK1000-0030 has been designed to support both RS232 and RS485 interfaces hence suitable for use in most industrial devices. The design of the system is all-encompassing and its use is essential in any environment in which precise and accurate communication is needed for program and operational control. A warranty of one year comes standard with this product at Wake Industrial.
