Description

Designed to support demanding modern automation architectures, the ZB7100-1000 functions as a highly durable, raw EtherCAT P cable engineered to transmit both deterministic communication signals and auxiliary power lines in a single integrated run. This hybrid cabling approach streamlines field level wiring by bundling high-performance Ethernet data conductors with dedicated power cores, reducing overall installation time and physical space requirements in cable trays.

Constructed with a robust polyurethane (PUR) outer jacket, this raw cable is highly optimized for dynamic industrial environments, including continuous-motion drag chain systems. The composition provides high resistance against mechanical stress, abrasion, and typical industrial oils or chemicals, ensuring long-term signal integrity and system uptime in demanding multi-axis machinery setups.

Features

  • Hybrid design combining EtherCAT communication and power supply conductors within one raw cable envelope.
  • Highly flexible outer PUR (polyurethane) jacket suitable for continuous dynamic movement in energy drag chains.
  • Engineered without an overall shield, optimizing diameter and flexibility for applications where space and bending radiuses are critical.
  • High-contrast black jacket with a distinct red stripe to ensure fast identification and trace-routing in complex control cabinets.

Applications

  • Industrial robotics and multi-axis articulation cells.
  • Decentralized fieldbus installations and automated logistics systems.
  • Packaging, food-processing, and material handling machinery.
  • Machine tool manufacturing requiring energy chains.

Installation Guidelines

  • Bending Radius: When installing in drag chains, maintain the minimum bending radius recommended for flexible applications to prevent internal conductor fatigue.
  • Tension Management: Avoid exceeding the maximum tensile limits during cable routing and installation. Cables should be laid without twists or kinks.
  • Chain Layout: Ensure proper weight distribution and spacing clearance inside the energy chain, avoiding placement directly adjacent to high-voltage power cables without adequate shielding or separation.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the Beckhoff ZB7100-1000 cable?

The ZB7100-1000 is a raw EtherCAT P hybrid cable designed to transmit both high-speed EtherCAT data signals and auxiliary power supply lines within a single cable run.

Can this cable be used in moving machine parts and energy chains?

Yes, the ZB7100-1000 features a highly flexible PUR jacket and internal configuration designed specifically for dynamic, drag-chain applications.

Does the ZB7100-1000 feature an overall shield?
