The ArcZero DC connector made from mass-balanced plastic contributes to climate-friendly production

DC grids in industry enhance energy efficiency, increase efficiency coefficients, and simplify installation. Moreover, producing connection technology like the ArcZero DC connector from mass-balanced plastic amplifies these benefits through resource-efficient production.

Further more, most electronic devices and production machines use direct current, which is prevalent in both private and commercial environments despite the global use of AC grids. Although DC technology has faded, especially with the decline of DC motors in factories, it is re-emerging through intelligent DC grids. These grids reduce energy losses, improve grid quality, and better integrate renewable energies.

Clever circuit design that requires minimal space in the control cabinet

If control cabinet space is limited but machine or system functionality has increased, planners and developers can use a multi-level terminal block like the PT four-level terminal block to address this issue.

Increased energy efficiency with reduced costs

Sustainable production using renewable energies starts with an industrial DC grid. Phoenix Contact’s Contactron ELR HDC is a multifunctional DC switching device that includes monitoring and protective functions in a compact design.

Efficient engineering with a hands-on approach

OPC UA remains a key communication technology, offering a wide range of functions for modeling simple to complex information models. While it provides many opportunities, it can overwhelm new users. Phoenix Contact addresses this with intuitive solutions and application examples.

In Industry 4.0, OPC UA is a key technology for mapping and accessing complex data. Driven by the OPC Foundation, it is based on three pillars:
