Rotary indexing table
This application example shows the possible use of 2 channel pairs for 4 positions of a rotary indexing
table. It involves the use of 4 N/O contacts that alternately signal the rotational position of the rotary
indexing table.

The other channel pairs on the input module can be used to evaluate other sensors on a loading and
an unloading station.
When connecting the sensors (e.g. SMT-8M-A), the use of pre-assembled Y-cables from the NEBU
modular cable system is recommended
Fig. 19 shows the circuitry of channel pairs with independent sensors. This involves the channel
pairs being set with the following function modes:

This application example can also be implemented using electronic sensors (2-wire or 3-wire sensors).
