Field Wiring Solutions

From the control cabinet to the field - Seamless wiring from the pioneer of electrical engineering

Industrial field wiring is a crucial aspect for the optimal functioning of production and automation systems in industry. ​

With the integration of Industrial IoT and the associated data volumes, the complexity and demands on field wiring are growing. Modern industrial field wiring solutions are characterized by high modularity and plug-and-play capability. This enables fast installation and commissioning while reducing downtime during maintenance.

An end-to-end infrastructure creates significant added value in terms of efficiency, safety and flexibility of production processes. As an expert in industrial applications, Weidmüller offers a wide range of field wiring components. The portfolio is complemented by user-friendly services and individual consulting.

Services

Free sample set (modular connectors)

Would you like to see for yourself how easy it is to use our RockStar® ModuPlug modular connector? That's no problem! Order directly your free sample set consisting of frame, modules and matching screwdriver and get to know our modular system.

Configuration of industrial connectors

Assemble our heavy-duty connectors individually according to your requirements using our product configurator and equip your connectors conveniently and easily online with matching inserts, contacts and housings. Create your individual connector and discover the variety of different mating faces.

FrontCom® Vario configurator

To quickly and easily create the front interface requested, we support you with our online wizard. In three steps you select your specific combination from a range of frames, insert plates and interface inserts - as a result you get a parts list of individual components, which you can save, print or submit to us straight away as an order.

Product configurator for SAI and IE cables

Using the configurator, you can create sensor-actuator interface (SAI) cables and network cables individually according to your requirements and specifications. Select the material, cable length and number of poles according to your needs. On request, the cable configurator automatically generates technical data sheets for all your customised cables and connectors.
