Connecting analog devices to Lock+
The Weidmüller connectors
enable you to connect third-
party devices for capturing
analog data, such as force
plates and accelerometers to
a Lock+.
When inserting flexible wire
cables into a connector or
extracting them from a
connector, use a slotted
screwdriver as shown in the
illustration (right).
If your cables are rigid (solid
wire or ferrule), you do not
need to use a screwdriver
and can push the ends of the
cables into the required
connector.
Pin assignment
The following illustration
shows the pin assignment of
the Weidmüller connectors.
Note that the pins shown in the illustration (left) are assigned as follows:
Pins 1–8 (top row): Ground
Pins 9–16 (bottom row): Signal inputs
In this diagram, the bottom of the image represents the wire side of the
connector.
Tip
: For each socket, the duplicate pin numbers do not correlate with the
analog channel input. That is, on connector one (leftmost), pin 9 is channel
1, pin 16 is channel 8. On connector four (rightmost), pin 9 is channel 25, pin
16 is channel 32
