From |Written by Gareth Chamberlain
Is it me, or has this year flown by so quickly?
It seems only like yesterday that we were lapping up and then moaning about the UK heatwave like the typical brits we are. But, with October on the horizon, we are getting ready for taking our network technology on the road to the IPExpo in London on the 3rd and 4th of October.
What is IPExpo? I hear you typing away on google. IPExpo is an IT exhibition that is renowned for its speakers and technology on display. It is one of the biggest IT fairs in Europe.
The Future is Electric
From |Written by Duncan Nicol
For thousands of years we have relied on carbon fuels to power our world and for a long time, it made a lot of sense. Carbon fuels such as coal and oil were easy to get to and therefore a cheap source of fuel and energy dense. As demand increased they became harder to find and then, of course, the environmental impact became widely known, but by then we were so very dependent on them. Continue reading
Is your power supply ready for the Industrial Internet of Things? The QUINT4 DC UPS sure is.
From |Written by Mark Lloyd
In 2004, we released our first DC UPS, the first generation QUINT-UPS, which is still in use and purchased today.
Then in 2011, we released the QUINT UPS-IQ, which for the first time allowed some monitoring of the connected battery to see such things as battery status, battery lifetime, and remaining runtime. With this generation of UPS it is possible to pass this info up to higher level controls but requires additional hardware.
With the UK in a midst of a heatwave ensure your electronic device can withstand the elements with ECS housings…

What has surge protection got to do with safety?
From |Written by Mark Lloyd and Andy Maskell
Anything that increases the reliability of your safety circuit has to be a good thing…..
In fact, it is a basic requirement when using safety relays or Safe PLCs that the outputs are protected against overcurrent and overvoltage to prevent dangerous failures.
In the case of a safety relay output, this may be in the form of a welded relay contact for example.

Did you come and see us at Drives & Controls? If so, brilliant, this is for you. If not, brilliant, this is for you too!
As we find all too often, not everybody is aware of how vast the Phoenix Contact range of products is. This was a great opportunity for everyone involved in all aspects of engineering to see what we can do and discuss applications and possible solutions. It was a great success and a huge thank you to anyone that had any kind of engagement with the show, you could not beat the buzz of the open days a t the NEC.
