How to split the eight-core M12 connection cable of DL100 Pro and Dx1000 sensors in an EMC-compliant manner?

Some variants of the DL100 Pro and all variants of the Dx1000 Distance Sensors have an 8-pin M12 connector used for wiring the supply voltage, inputs/outputs (I/Os) and SSI or RS-422 interface. 
If the wiring concept requires a local separation of the connections of supply voltage / IOs from SSI respectively RS-422 interface on the control cabinet side, the Y-splitter (part no. 6048329) should be used. This may be the case, for example, if a drive inverter has a SUB-D connector for connecting the SSI interface of the sensor, but the supply voltage of the sensor is not via the SUB-D connector but from another location in the control cabinet.
If the length of the Y-splitter (2 x 2 m) is not sufficient, a 1:1 extension can be used between the sensor and the splitter, for example part no. 6049329. For other cables, see the product page of the sensors mentioned.

Attention!
Improper splitting in the wiring can lead to faults during operation and incorrect measured values.
