The stated colors apply on the usage of pre-assembled cables (should be checked).
6.2.4
Connection of the Flexi Loop nodes
Within the safe sensor cascade the individual Flexi Loop nodes are connected using 1:1
cables (male/female connector) via FL_OUT and FL_IN.
NOTE
b
Only use cables with straight male or female connectors.
b
Never
connect two Flexi Loop nodes directly by plugging the male connector of one
into the female connector of the other.

DANGER
Never cut into the connection cables between the Flexi Loop nodes!
If the cables for the safe sensor cascade are cut into, e.g. to supply the cascade directly
using a separate power supply, then several power supplies will be connected in paral‐
lel.
This situation can result in overcurrent and a cable fire in case of a ground fault.
