Siemens 6GF3440-8BA2 cable

The Siemens 6GF3440-8BA2 is a power IO RS-232 cable with a length of 10 meters, designed as a spare part for Siemens SIMATIC MV400 series devices (specifically mentioned for MLFBs like 6GF3440-1CD10, -1GE10, -1LE10; 6GF3420-0AA20, -0AA40). It features an M16 pre-assembled connector at one end, with the other end being bare for custom termination. This product has been officially cancelled since October 1, 2022, indicating it is primarily available as a spare part.

Product Detailed Description

• Function: This cable facilitates power supply and RS-232 serial communication for Siemens SIMATIC MV400 series industrial cameras/vision systems. The RS-232 interface is commonly used for configuration, diagnostics, and data exchange between the vision system and other control devices (e.g., a PC or PLC). The "power IO" aspect suggests it also carries power to the device and potentially handles some basic digital I/O signals through the same cable.

• Design: It's a specialized cable designed to meet the specific electrical and mechanical requirements of the MV400 series. The M16 connector provides a robust and industrial-grade connection to the vision device, while the bare end allows for flexible integration into existing control panels or custom wiring setups.

• Spare Part Status: As of October 1, 2022, this product is in "Product Cancellation" (PLM status PM410), meaning it's no longer actively manufactured for new installations but is maintained as a spare part to support existing systems.

Product Parameters

• Article Number (MLFB): 6GF3440-8BA2

• Product Type: Power IO RS-232 Cable

• Length: 10 meters

• Connector Type (One End): M16, pre-assembled

• Connector Type (Other End): Bare end (for custom wiring/termination)

Product Advantages

• Original Siemens Quality: Ensures perfect compatibility and reliable performance with SIMATIC MV400 devices.

• Integrated Functionality: Combines power, RS-232 communication, and potentially basic I/O into a single cable, simplifying wiring.

• Industrial Design: The M16 connector offers a robust and secure connection suitable for industrial environments.

• Specific Length: 10-meter length provides flexibility for installations where the vision device is some distance from the control unit.

• Spare Part Availability: Although cancelled for new production, it's still available as a spare part to support existing Siemens MV400 installations.

Precautions

• Compatibility: This cable is specifically designed for Siemens SIMATIC MV400 devices. Do not attempt to use it with incompatible devices as it may cause damage or malfunction.

• Wiring: When terminating the bare end, ensure correct wiring according to the MV400 device manual to avoid short circuits or damage. Refer to the device's documentation for pin assignments.

• Handling: Handle the cable carefully to avoid bending or damaging the M16 connector or the cable insulation.

• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the installation environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) is suitable for both the cable and the connected MV400 device.

• Safety: Always de-energize the connected MV400 device and any associated power supplies before connecting or disconnecting the cable to prevent electrical hazards.

• Product Cancellation: Be aware that this product is a cancelled spare part. For new installations or long-term projects, consider newer Siemens vision system solutions that are actively supported. If using this spare part, ensure long-term availability of spares or consider migration strategies.

• Lead Content: Note the presence of Lead (>0.1% w/w) as per REACH Article 33.

Product Applications

The Siemens 6GF3440-8BA2 cable is used wherever a Siemens SIMATIC MV400 series industrial camera/vision system requires power and RS-232 communication. Typical applications for the MV400 series vision systems (and thus this cable) include:

• Industrial Automation:

• Quality Control: Inspection of products for defects, completeness, or correct assembly.

• Identification: Reading 1D/2D barcodes (e.g., Data Matrix, QR codes) for traceability, logistics, and production control.

• Positioning: Guiding robots or other machinery based on object location.

• Part Verification: Ensuring correct parts are used in an assembly process.

• Manufacturing:

• Automotive industry (e.g., component inspection, assembly verification).

• Electronics manufacturing (e.g., PCB inspection, component placement).

• Packaging industry (e.g., label inspection, code reading on packages).

• Food and beverage industry (e.g., quality control, date code verification).
