3.5. Wiring
Power and communications are established with the FT 300-SForce Torque Sensor via a single device cable. The FT 300 has a
pigtail cable.
The figure below represents the FT 300-SForce Torque Sensor receptacle (Sensor side) and connector (cable side) with associated
pinout. The M12 - 5 pin A-coded connector is used in accordance with IEC 61076-2-101.
Warning
Use proper cabling management. Be sure to have enough forgiveness in the cabling to allow movement of the Gripper
along all axes without pulling out the connectors. Always protect the controller side of the cable connection with a strain
relief cable clamp.
