Product Description:

The 8F1CB00X5.31110-0 cable is an original accessory for the ACOPOStrak Systems series manufactured by B&R Automation. It forms the dedicated link between a track segment and its control node, carrying supply voltage and high-speed communication so the shuttles on the magnetic rail receive synchronized commands in real time. The assembly is delivered as a finished harness with molded connectors, allowing it to be inserted into a carrier module without field crimping. This configuration preserves signal integrity and reduces downtime during line reconfiguration.

The cable has a fixed length of 0.5 m, which eliminates excess slack inside compact drive cabinets while allowing a service loop for vibration isolation. Each end terminates in an M12 circular interface that matches the sealed receptacles on the drive modules. Within each shell, the contacts follow the X-coded Ethernet pinout, providing separate twisted pairs for deterministic data and auxiliary power conductors. Every connector contains eight signal positions, allowing differential pairs to be routed with minimal crosstalk while the remaining pins support voltage rails or shield continuity according to the system layout.

The functional designation is ISC+PLK, indicating that the cable simultaneously carries Integrated Safety Communication and Powerlink traffic used by the controller for motion commands and safety interlocks. The cable has two male plugs that connect to the female bulkheads on the track, supporting daisy-chain wiring between modules. A straight shell orientation allows the harness to exit parallel to the module surface, keeping the required bend radius within the permitted limits inside the enclosure. The two identical connectors allow the cable to bridge adjacent track segments or function as a panel jumper during maintenance. Its sealed circular interfaces help maintain electrical contact and mechanical retention under the vibration and repeated acceleration associated with continuous shuttle operation.
