E Anybus CompactCom 40 without Housing
This a class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
This product contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts that may be
damaged if ESD control procedures are not followed. Static control precautions are
required when handling the product. Failure to observe this may cause damage to
the product.
E.1 General Information
In some applications the standard Anybus CompactCom plug-in housing concept cannot be
used. Instead an Anybus CompactCom 40 module without housing is mounted on the PCB,
using a specially designed Anybus CompactCom Mounting Kit. This enables full Anybus
CompactCom functionality for all applications without loss of network compatibility or
environmental characteristics.
Fig. 51
The kit is easy to assemble, and is based on a few plastic parts which when assembled secures
the Anybus module firmly onto the host application.
To support this concept in the host application, the PCB must be designed according to the
footprint specification in this document.
To guarantee proper EMC behavior, it is also important that the application supports the FE
(functional earth) and grounding mechanisms found on all Anybus CompactCom modules.
Anybus CompactCom modules without housing exist in three different versions:
• with the usual fieldbus or industrial network connector
• with M12 connectors
• as brick, with a pin connector directly to the carrier board instead of a fieldbus or network
connector mounted on the Anybus CompactCom, for more information see the Anybus
CompactCom B40 Design Guide
If the module is equipped with M12 connectors, and front plate and housing are correctly
designed, the resulting product can be rated up to class IP67.
