Pilz Cables and wires

 Why Pilz Cables Matter

In automation, control and signal integrity start at the cable. Poor or mismatched wiring can lead to downtime, erratic sensor behaviour, communication faults, and increased maintenance load. Pilz’s cable and wire range is designed to be the foundation of reliable automation—whether you’re wiring sensors, actuators, I/O modules, or power connections

Technical Logic — What Pilz Cables Bring & How They Deliver

Built-for-purpose types

Pilz offers a comprehensive portfolio of cables and plug-in connectors:

• Sensor/actuator cables (M8/M12/M23) for field devices
• Signal and data cables (e.g., Cat 5e for SafetyNET p) for communication links.
• Power supply and control cables with drag-chain suitability, oil/UV resistance and extended lengths

Key performance attributes

• Pre-assembled or metre-cut options: enabling faster installation or custom lengths.
• Variety of connector types & coding (L-coded, A-coded) to avoid mis-plugging.
• Materials rated for industrial demands: oil resistant, halogen-free, IP67/68/69K compatible for harsh environments.

Use-Cases & Variants — Where Pilz Cables Shine

Field device wiring

For sensors, switches and small actuators, Pilz’s M8/M12 pre-assembled cables reduce installation error and drop-in time.

Control cabinet & panel wiring

Within cabinets, control cables connecting PLCs, I/O, relays and bus systems benefit from standardised lengths, shielding and modularity.

Communication & data transmission

Automation networks (Ethernet, SafetyNET p) require cables with correct shielding, performance over long runs and compatibility with connectors—Pilz supports these needs directly.

Harsh-environment installations

For conveyor systems, outdoor installations or robotics, Pilz offers cables tailored for drag-chain use, oil resistance and flexible routing—improving uptime in challenging settings.

Procurement & Design Checklist — What Engineers Should Check

• Connector type & coding: Ensure M8/M12 size, pin count (4-pin, 5-pin, 8-pin), and coding (A/L) matches your device.
• Application environment: Are cables exposed to oil, UV, mechanical wear or drag-chains? Choose accordingly (oil resistant, halogen-free, drag-chain rated).
• Length & assembly status: Do you want pre-assembled plug-in cables for quick deployment, or bulk cable by the metre to customise?
• Signal vs power vs data: Select cross-section, shielding and category (e.g., Cat 5e) appropriate to the function.
• Brand ecosystem consistency: Using Pilz cables alongside Pilz sensors, I/O modules and controllers simplifies spares, documentation and commissioning.
• Spare and replacement planning: Standardise cable types across machines to avoid mix-and-match confusion and reduce inventory complexity.

Operational Reliability & Maintenance — Why the Right Cable Matters Long-Term

• Correct cable selection reduces signal drop, noise interference and communication faults, limiting unplanned stops.
• Pre-assembled cables cut wiring error and shorten commissioning time, enabling quicker machine start-up.
• Standardised connectors and lengths across machines ease maintenance, spare-parts stocking and technician training.
• Choosing materials rated for the environment (oil, UV, dynamic motion) prevents premature failures and downtime.

Integration & Ecosystem — How Pilz Cables Fit Into Your Automation Architecture

Selecting Pilz cables means you align with the same vendor platform used across sensors, relays, controllers and I/O. Benefits include:

• Unified connector types and coding logic across devices.
• Simplified vendor management: one source for wiring, field devices and control modules.
• Consistent documentation, labelling and build-standards – enabling faster diagnostics and fewer surprises during audits or servicing.
