Our Bulletin 1485 Auxiliary Power Media connection devices are based on a 4–pin connector system and is used to provide 24V DC power to I/O modules and other devices separately from network power. Running separate power to these devices is typically used for I/O devices with output connections to prevent power supply interruption due to switching of outputs. However, some devices require separate auxiliary power to power them regardless of the presence of outputs.
Power Media Connection Devices
Power Media Connection Devices are plug-and-play style connectors that provide power for three-phase motor branch circuits, ArmorStart® distributed motor controllers, and 24V DC power to auxiliary devices separate from network power. Our connection devices include cordsets, patchcords, trunk cables, drop cables, tees and reducers, receptacles, and shorting plugs.
Bulletin 280 ArmorConnect® Three-phase Power Media offers both mini and quick-change disconnect cables that provide a secure connection to the ArmorStart® Distributed Motor Controller. Connectors can be straight or right-angled and are physically keyed to prevent wiring mishaps. The three-phase power media components are rated for motor branch circuits per UL 2237.
Our Bulletin 888/889 Control Power Media connection devices offer mini disconnect cables that provide a secure connection to the ArmorStart® Distributed Motor Controller. The control power media components are a 6-pin/5-used configuration to prevent mis-wiring with network connectors.
