To minimise the wiring of magnetic control valves and sensors, they are decoupled from the control system and wired in separate terminal boxes. The new PTIO sensor/actuator terminal series is specifically designed for this purpose with a construction width of just 3.5mm.

What are surge voltages and what harm do they cause?
Surge voltages are short, pulse like, voltage peaks with steep rising edges and are also known as transients.
The origin of these transients can be external, i.e lightning, but is much more likely to be caused by your own equipment, i.e switching of motors or transformers or the interruption of a short circuit by protective measures.

In June Phoenix Contact teamed up with TÜV SÜD (Laidler Associates) and Mechan Controls to bring you a FREE one day workshop on Electrical and Functional Safety. It was hugely successful day and the fact it was fully booked within a week shows the need for more events like this.
“I would like to extend my thanks to all involved for hospitality during the training. Following our experience we would be interested in putting more of our engineers through this training day if it became available again.”

I was going to have a really snappy heading to lure you in, yet when I thought about it I realised that those three simple words actually express more than enough to hopefully make you want to read more. If I’m being perfectly honest, I wouldn’t immediately be drawn to housings as the most exciting and dynamic of products to decide to write a blog about, however my opinion has been recently radically changed.
Why is that you ask? Play along- you know how it works with my blogs by now!

What is a solution?
“A means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation”
It is, in my humble opinion, a product/products which add value to the customer – whether that means some items assembled on a DIN Rail or supplied in a control panel with PLC / HMI , all programmed and ready to use.
