1.2.3 Connecting the cables and plugs to the sub−bases
Sensors and actuators must be connected to the CPX I/O
modules only at the sub−bases. In this way, e.g. when an
electronic module is replaced, the plugs and cables remain
fitted in the sub−base.
W a r ning
Sudden unexpected movement of the connected actuators
and uncontrolled movements of loose tubing can cause
injury to human beings or damage to property.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work,
switch off the following:
the compressed air supply
the operating and load voltage supplies.
The protection class of the I/O modules depends on the sub−
base used as well as on the plugs and protective caps used.
Instructions can be found on the following pages and in the
section A.1.
Use plugs and cables from the Festo range for connecting
sensors and actuators (see section B.3).
