Top 6 most read articles in 2015

First of all, are you still working on closing the books of 2015? Well, you are not alone! Just before we start bringing 2016 news to you, we thought to share with you some of the top old news.

The new generation of safety relays: PSRmini

PSR Mini - Most read articlesOur new PSRmini safety relays are rather the narrowest safety relays in the world with the performance of a large safety relay. Phoenix Contact developed the relay technology in the centerpiece of the new PSRmini device. The compact 6 mm wide elementary relay design offers tried-and-tested safety, because of the force-guided contacts. Hence, the numerous technological details make it reliable as safety technology should be. It is its robustness, reliability, and diagnostic capability that sets it apart from a standard elementary relay.

New DC/DC converters for the energy sector

DC/ DC Converter - Most read articlesThe new DC/DC converters of the QUINT POWER product range are particularly suitable for applications in the energy sector. Independent supply systems can be established and monitored in a preventative manner due to the electrical isolation between the input and output voltage. All DC/DC converters, power supplies, and redundancy modules of the QUINT POWER product range support power boost, which continually supplies 1.25-fold nominal current.

Managed Switches in accordance with IEC 61850

IEC 61850 places special requirements on network components. High ambient conditions apply for use in the energy area, which are specified in IEC 61850-3. For instance, our new managed switches have FO ports with ST connection and complete our Industrial Ethernet portfolio in accordance with IEC 61850.

managed switchesWhat are the main advantages?

  • Can be used under the harshest electromagnetic, electrostatic, and climatic ambient conditions.
  • Reliable, error-free data transmission over long distances, thanks to FO technology.
  • Redundant, replaceable power supply and special operating voltages.
  • Fast redundancy mechanisms for high availability.
  • High port density in one rack unit for low space requirements in the control cabinet.

Network infrastructure according to IEC 61850

IEC61850 - managed switches

A reliable and permanent power supply is essential for every industrial company. Over a quarter of the world’s population still has no access to electricity. From now until 2030, energy consumption in countries such as China, India or Brazil is expected to grow disproportionately. Rising energy costs, the scarcity of resources, CO2 emissions, and the associated climate change are global factors.

In order to overcome these challenges, a review of the energy infrastructure field is required, together with new system approaches such as the intelligent power grid, known as the Smart Grid. Therefore, the IEC 61850 international series of standards and communication based on Ethernet technology are an important basis for this review.
