Today, sensors and actuators in the field frequently are connected to a passive I/O box or one with fieldbus capability. The harsh influences of the environment on these boxes make proven and, particularly, tightly sealed (IP65/IP67) connectors a necessity. The M12 connector system already had established themselves in the field of sensor technology. Meanwhile, the M12 connector also is recommended as a fieldbus connector for almost all field bus applications. To make sure that nothing gets mixed up, there are a series of codes for assistance.
