Weidmüller FrontCom Vario service interface

Weidmüller’s FrontCom Vario is a compact service interface for switch and control cabinets, providing easy access to the control system or PC and electronics.

Without downtime or additional staff, technicians can use the service interface to perform maintenance tasks or rectify errors in the production process. Authorised personnel can, for example, connect diagnostic hardware using a data cable or an optional power cable. FrontCom Vario is suitable for use in areas such as machine construction, the process industry and power and traffic engineering — and is compact.

The system supports a multitude of standards for communication interfaces in different designs, such as RJ45, USB or D-Sub, as well as different country-specific socket systems. As a modular service interface, FrontCom Vario offers a combination of single frames, power, signal and data inserts, as well as the correct insert plate. Cat 6A RJ45 inserts from Weidmüller’s STEADYTEC series offer high performance (Cat 6A up to 10 GBps).

Touch-protection on the interior offers additional marking possibilities for each port, allowing each interface also to be clearly identified inside the cabinet. Weidmüller also provides an online configurator that can be used to find and configure suitable interfaces from the more than 5000 FrontCom Vario combinations.
