Gocator Cordsets
Gocator sensors use two types of cordsets:the Power & Ethernet cordset and the I/Ocordset.
The Power & Ethernet cordset provides power, laser safety interlock to the sensor. It is also used for
sensor communication via 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet with a standard RJ45 connector. The Master version of
the Power & Ethernet cordset provides direct connection between the sensor and a Master network
controller, excluding Master 100 (for more information, see Master Network Controllers on page 773).
