SICK AD-ATM60-KA3PR Bus Adapter, IP67

AD-ATM60-KA3PR is a SICK bus adapter (part no. 2029225) from the Integration modules and adapters group, with an enclosure rating of IP67. The data sheet for this accessory lists very few parameters, so this page repeats only what SICK prints and does not describe functions that are not stated there. SICK currently lists this type as phased out; the catalogue names no successor, so confirm availability and any replacement with us before you plan a repair around it.

What SICK states about the AD-ATM60-KA3PR

SICK catalogues bus adapters under Integration modules and adapters. The data sheet for AD-ATM60-KA3PR lists the accessory group, the enclosure rating (IP67) and the declarations of conformity, and a dimensional drawing with the outline dimensions 70, 65, 43.2, 31, 20 and 12.25 mm. It does not state which encoders or fieldbus it is meant for.

Technical specifications

Type code AD-ATM60-KA3PR and part number 2029225

The AD prefix is used for adapters in SICK’s accessory range; the digits and letters after it name the device family and variant. The part number 2029225 is the unambiguous key. Because the data sheet does not name the application, send us the device the adapter is intended for, or a photo of the old adapter label, before we quote.

Confirmation before ordering

This type is listed by SICK as phased out, so availability is not guaranteed. Compare the outline dimensions in the data sheet with the space available, check the connection of the old unit, and confirm whether SICK names a replacement for your device before ordering. We would rather quote after confirming the part than ship an item that does not fit.

An adapter sits between a device and its bus or cabling, so the ordering question is compatibility rather than performance. Compare this data sheet with the data sheet of the device it is meant to serve and with the connector and cable on the controller side. The data sheet states IP67 as the enclosure rating. SICK lists this item as phased out, so confirm availability and the current successor from the manufacturer documents before you commit to a quantity.

Where a bus adapter fits in an installation

A bus adapter belongs to the integration layer of a system: it is the piece that joins a sensor or similar device to the cabling and network on the controller side. In practice this means it is often fitted once during commissioning and then forgotten until a fault, a damaged housing or a plant modification brings it back into view. When that happens, the maintenance team usually has the old adapter in hand but not the original purchase record, which is why the type code AD-ATM60-KA3PR and the part number 2029225 printed on the label matter more than any description. Because SICK does not state in the data sheet which device or fieldbus this adapter serves, the safest approach is to treat the label and the existing installation as the reference, and to match the replacement to them exactly.

Selection guidance for the AD-ATM60-KA3PR

Start with identification. Read the full type code and part number from the existing adapter and compare them with this page character by character; a single differing letter in the variant part of the code can mean a different connection or a different device family. Next, look at the device the adapter is mounted to and record its own type code and part number, so that compatibility can be checked against SICK’s documentation for that device. Then look at the controller side: note how the cable leaves the adapter and where it goes. Finally, check the mechanical envelope. The data sheet gives outline dimensions in its drawing, and comparing those with the space around the existing unit avoids surprises when the new part is offered up.

The IP67 enclosure rating is the one environmental figure the data sheet states. It is useful for judging whether the adapter suits the location, but the rating of the whole assembly also depends on how the cables and mating parts are fitted, so the installation as a whole should be considered rather than the adapter alone.

Installation and commissioning considerations

Replacing an adapter in a running plant is mostly a matter of care and documentation. Before removing the old unit, photograph it in place, mark the cables and note how it is oriented, so that the new one can be fitted the same way. Isolate the circuit in line with site procedures before any connection is opened. After fitting, confirm that the device is recognised by the controller and that the signals it reports look plausible before the machine is returned to normal operation. If the adapter is part of a network, the network configuration on the controller side should be checked as well, since a replacement adapter does not by itself change those settings. Keep the data sheet copy from this page with the maintenance records so the next replacement is easier.

How to specify your RFQ

A clear request lets us confirm the right part quickly. Please include the type code AD-ATM60-KA3PR and the part number 2029225, the quantity, and the delivery point. Add the type code of the device the adapter connects to, a photo of the old adapter label, and a short note on the application. Because SICK lists this type as phased out, tell us whether you can accept a successor if SICK names one, or whether you need the identical part for a like-for-like repair. With that information we can check availability and reply with a quotation based on what we can confirm.

Documents and quotation

This page carries a copy of the SICK data sheet for AD-ATM60-KA3PR (part no. 2029225), so the dimensional drawing and the electrical data are one click away. Use the RFQ form with the part number, quantity and delivery point; we reply with a quotation and the delivery information we can confirm. Related items are listed under Automation Accessories. Please check the electrical output, the connector and the measuring or switching range against the old device before you order. Where this page and the data sheet disagree, follow the data sheet.
