Description
The Siemens 6FX2001 series comprises high-flexibility, shielded cables and interface modules specifically designed for connecting absolute encoders (e.g., DRIVE-CLiQ, HIPERFACE, EnDat 2.2) to Siemens SINAMICS drives and S7-1200/1500 PLCs. These components ensure reliable signal transmission in harsh industrial environments with high EMC immunity. The series includes both pre-assembled motor connection cables (e.g., 6FX2001-5FN13) and encoder interface modules (e.g., 6FX2001-4DA50) that convert signals for direct PLC integration.
