3.5 Wiring
Power and communications are established with the FT Sensor via a single device cable. The pinout is the same on
both versions of the FT Sensor although the FT 150 has a mounted connector, while the FT 300 has a pigtail cable.
Both the FT 150 and FT 300 cables maintain the same wiring standard, but the FT 150 cable has a 90 degree
angled connector, while the FT 300 pigtail cable has a straight connector which includes the LED power light. Figure
3.5.1 represents the FT 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. Both versions of the Sensor share the
same M12 5 pins / male pinout.
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.
