The AutomationDirect ZIPLink wire management system eliminates the normally tedious process of wiring Productivity3000 PAC I/O to terminal blocks. One end of a ZIPLink cable plugs into a PAC I/O module and the other end into a ZIPLink connector module. ZIPLinks use half the space, at a fraction of the total cost of terminal blocks and cut your PAC wiring time from hours down to minutes. For user cost and space savings, many of the Productivity3000 I/O modules do not include terminals for direct connection of I/O. In particular, the high-density 32-pt and 64-pt modules require the use of the ZIPLink cables. |
