IO trigger cable is a cable used to transmit input and output signals to trigger the operation of the device.
Application areas
Industrial automation: In servo systems, connect servo drives, motors, controllers, sensors and other components to transmit control, position feedback and other signals to achieve precise control; connect PLC with external devices to achieve data input and output, and achieve automated control of the production process.
Machine vision: Connect industrial cameras with external trigger signal sources, such as PLC, sensor or other control equipment, accurately control the shooting time of the camera, ensure the synchronization of image acquisition with the production process, and improve the accuracy and reliability of image acquisition.
Robot: Connect the robot’s control unit, sensor, actuator and power supply, transmit control signals, power signals and sensor data, and ensure that the robot performs tasks according to the program.
Performance characteristics
Anti-interference: Most of the shielding design is adopted, such as aluminum foil braided shielding layer, which can effectively prevent external electromagnetic interference, ensure stable signal transmission, and is suitable for complex electromagnetic environments.
High flexibility: Some cables have good flexibility and can be used normally in scenes with frequent movement or bending, such as at robot joints and between moving parts of automated production lines, which can reduce equipment failures caused by cable damage.
Customizability: Cable length, connector type, etc. can be customized according to user needs to meet the requirements of different equipment connection and installation layout.
Common types
According to the interface type: there are many types such as pin connectors, RJ45 connectors, USB connectors, etc. Pin connectors, such as HD15 pin connectors, have the characteristics of firm connection and stable signal transmission, and are often used in industrial cameras and other equipment; RJ45 connectors are highly versatile and can be easily connected to network equipment; USB connectors have the advantages of plug-and-play and easy use, and are suitable for some equipment that requires high portability and flexibility.
According to the signal transmission type: mainly TTL logic level trigger line and optocoupler trigger line. TTL logic level trigger line has fast signal transmission speed and strong anti-interference ability, and is often used in occasions with high requirements for signal transmission speed and accuracy; optocoupler trigger line has good electrical isolation performance and strong anti-interference ability, which can effectively protect equipment from electrical interference and damage.
