Sensor/Actuator Boxes

WAGO's sensor/actuator boxes with molded cable (72 hours at 1 m water depth) have an extremely robust design and meet both IP67 and IP68 protection standards. This design makes them ideal for applications where signals must be recorded in extreme environments (temperature, shock, vibration) without a control cabinet. They’re also excellent alternatives when the use of an active IP67 I/O system would not be cost-effective due to a low signal count or the simple signal conditions (only digital signal acquisition/output).

The sensor/actuator boxes with a removable connecting cable (M16 or M23 pluggable connector) are ideal for areas where frequent easy disconnection and reconnection are required (e.g., transport, modification, service).

The sensor/actuator boxes with molded cables are preferred when challenging cable paths do not allow the use of preassembled M16/M23 cables.

A system/machine is exposed to severe mechanical and thermal influences. It is important to process its signals despite severe vibrations and shocks. The sensor/actuator boxes are used at the machine level. Full encapsulation safeguards system operation, so that even extreme vibration and temperature loads do not degrade signal acquisition and power supply via the connecting cable to the controller or other automation components located in the non-critical control cabinet area.

The sensor/actuator boxes can be mounted directly on the machine. Extensive engineering ensures compliance with standardized specifications from CNOMO guidelines regarding the spacing of assembly drill holes that are often used in passive distribution boxes or sensor/actuator boxes. An optional adapter is available that can be used to mount two modules seamlessly side by side. This has the advantage of maintaining a defined distance for proper routing of the sensor/actuator cables and of avoiding contamination points.
