Overview

K45 compact modules

The K45 series of compact modules supplements the K60 large

compact modules which have a proven track record in industry.

They are the logical consequence for rounding off the bottom

end of the existing product range.

The acclaimed advantages of the existing K60 compact mod-

ules are fully emulated by the far smaller K45 modules. Their

footprint is the same as that of the user modules. However, they

have a mounting depth which is only two-thirds of the user mod-

ule and hence an exact match for the compact module family.

Yet in spite of these small dimensions all the modules have large

labels and an integrated addressing socket.

Two mounting plates are offered for the K45 compact modules:

• The mounting plate for wall mounting has a hole pattern that is

identical to that of the K60 compact modules. This means that

K60 compact modules can be mounted together with K45

modules in an aligned arrangement. The flat cables can be

inserted in the recesses of the mounting plates where they

cause no hindrance.

• The mounting plate for standard rail mounting has a hole pat-

tern that is identical to that of the user modules.

Mounting the flat cables is now easier than ever. The yellow and

black AS-Interface flat cable can be inserted into the mounting

plates from the left or right regardless of the position of the

coding lug. The correct polarity of the applied voltages is always

guaranteed.

Sensors/actuators are connected using M12 sockets. The

4I module can be ordered optionally with M8 connection

sockets.
