Anybus CompactCom M40 - M12 Connector

Introduction 7 (114)
2.3 M12 Connector
A number of the Anybus CompactCom M40 modules are available with M12 connectors
instead of the usual network connector.
The M12 connector gives the opportunity to raise the IP rating of a product up to IP67.
However, the standard Anybus CompactCom housing does not qualify for IP ratings above
IP20. If a higher rating is needed, careful design of housings and/or module fronts is necessary.
It is then recommended to use the Anybus CompactCom M40 without housing, and design a
new housing/front that fulfills the requirements for IP67.
