Simple and reliable interconnection

Each Megablock has dedicated connections for the fieldbus “home run” or trunk

cable. Trunk connections are identified by their black connector. Numbered (grey)

connectors are provided for each spur.

Wiring connections to the Megablock are made using pluggable connectors (screw

terminal type are standard, but other connection styles are available). These allow

wire terminations to be made to the individual connectors, which are then plugged

into the Megablock.  Devices can be connected and disconnected easily during

commissioning. On completion, the connector retaining screws are tightened to

secure each connector to the Megablock.

Mounting orientation

Megablocks mount vertically or horizontally on 35mm DIN rail within a field junction

box.  The use of DIN rail end stops are recommended to prevent sliding (especially

for vertical installations).

Eight, and twelve port Megablocks have areas on their body for labelling so that

segments can be easily identified according to plant standards.
