Terminal designation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A terminal designation is an auxiliary number or a letter in mechanical engineering and plant engineering as well as in vehicle electrics to simplify the connection of cables, but also the error diagnosis using a circuit diagram in vehicles , automation systems or control cabinets. It is attached to or close to the terminal and often also to the line to be connected or connected there.

The terminal designations are partially standardized or common for certain signals or poles. One example is the letter markings on the connection terminals of current transformers or the connections of asynchronous motors .

The terminal designations for motor vehicles are standardized in Germany in DIN 72552. However, different, manufacturer-specific names are also possible.

The terminal designations are not cable designations at the same time, since components with different terminal designations can be connected to the two ends of a cable.

Terminal designation in switchgear and industrial systems

In switchgear and industrial systems, terminals are designated according to a classification principle in accordance with EN 81346-2 . In accordance with this principle, objects are assigned so-called identification letters according to their task, location and basic function. All (electrical) connection elements such as connection distributor, connectors, terminals, terminal block, terminal block are thereby with the reference letter X in. For a more precise classification, double letters according to Table 2 of the main class X are also possible - e.g. B. XD = electrical connections (≤ 1000 V AC or ≤ 1500 V DC) or XF = connections in data transmission networks.

The identification system consists of a fixed sequence of identification blocks, starting with the system identification (including the location identification), followed by a hyphen and the identification letter for the device according to its intended purpose or intended task; here: connect, hence –X . This code letter is followed by an ordinal number that provides information about the number of elements of this type in a certain system unit (e.g. in control cabinet 1). In electrical switchgear, one can assume that –X usually means terminal strips or multi-pole connectors. The actual connection point on a device (e.g. on a terminal strip) is represented by a colon (:) separated from the code letter, e.g. E.g .: -X2: 100

In contrast to automotive technology, there is no fixed assignment of specific terminal numbers to given functions. This does not apply to the connection terminals of functional devices, e.g. B. a / b for an actuating coil 13/14 for a "closer" contact, etc.

Telephony

A naming scheme is common in the (landline) telephone system.

For TAE ("telecommunications connection unit") sockets from Deutsche Telekom , which are labeled as F- ("telephony": telephone), N- ("non-telephony": answering machine, fax, modem), and U- (" Universal ": telephone or fax etc.) type coded, there are the following terminal designations:

Clamp signal meaning function
1 La a-core Trunk
2 Lb b-core Trunk
3 W. Alarm clock for additional alarm clock
4th E. earth for control signals, e.g. B. in a telephone system
5 b2 b-core for forwarding Lb to the next can
6th a2 a-core to forward La to the next can

In Austria , however, the following terms are common:

Clamp function
a, b incoming (exchange) line
a1, b2 outgoing (exchange) line
W2 (, W2) Pluggable call organ (additional alarm clock)

Terminal designations are also essential when interconnecting the elements of house intercom systems , which convey bells from the house gate or the floor, establish speech and possibly mostly one-way video connections and allow remote door opening. Such systems can be operated with (earlier :) alternating current, or positive or negative direct voltage, as well as with and without transistor amplification, illuminate the bell board with light bulbs or LEDs and are therefore only compatible to a limited extent. Terminal designations such as 0 for ground and B + or B– for voltage supply ("battery") are common, but others are manufacturer or model-specific.
