Product Description
devices – two cascadable devices and one standard device (used as
the terminal device) – in series via a cable. Only the first cascadable
device is connected to the machine controller, i.e. the entire arrange-
ment behaves in exactly the same way as a single sender/receiver
pair.
Please observe the following points with regard to cascading:
Only standard devices with the following features are suitable for
cascade applications:
– product name "C 2000/M 2000 extended version",
— serial number from 0001 XXXX,
– software version number stated on the sensor rating plate.
The cable length between two cascadable devices or between
a cascadable device and a standard device must be no more than
3 metres.
Only pre-assembled cables from SICK should be used for cascad-
ing. These cables are not supplied with the units, and must be
ordered separately. The cables are available in the lengths 0.25 m,
0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, and 3 m.
Cables with M 12/M 12 plugs are used for cascading the C 2000/
M 2000.

If the cascade contains an M 2000 device with a large operating
range, connector pin 6 (HRANGE) of the sender in an upstream
C 2000 device must be connected to a 24 V power supply.
The devices in a cascade operate with the same beam coding, but
do not interfere with each other.
If two independent cascade systems are installed immediately next to
