With its industrial WLAN Access Point/Client WLAN 5100, Phoenix Contact presents a new device for wireless communication in accordance with the WLAN standard IEEE 802.11n.The wireless component supports the Mimo (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology with three antennas.
In the scope of a long-term technological collaboration, Phoenix Contact, manufacturer of industrial electronics, and Gossen Metrawatt, manufacturer of measuring and testing technology, have jointly developed a product for acquiring energy data.
The objective of energy data acquisition is to identify potential for increasing efficiency and therefore helping to calculate costs.
The new Radioline wireless system from Phoenix Contact is specifically designed for wireless signal transmission at large facilities. I/O mapping is one special feature that distributes signals from up to 250 stations within the system without any software.
The portfolio of Lean Managed Switches from Phoenix Contact’s Factory Line range of products has been expanded to include several types of switches that are preset for Ethernet/IP.
With its narrow design, the analog Inline terminal IB IL AO 2/UI-PAC from Phoenix Contact is a compact alternative for outputting current and voltage signals. This analog terminal is just 12 mm wide, has two channels, and offers precision and performance at an affordable price.
So do you want to reduce installation, assembly and maintenance costs? Then convince yourself of highly efficient communication solutions based on wireless signal transmission.
The Gigabit Modular Switch from Phoenix Contact now also supports the layer 3 function in order to route communications between individual subnetworks.
As industrial networks are becoming increasingly more complex, it makes sense to segment them and split them up into different networks in order to secure the appropriate level of data availability.
Phoenix Contact extends its PSD signaling column product range to include the WIN (Wireless Information Network) wireless system. Using this wireless system, the signal states of up to 50 signaling columns can be wirelessly transferred.
The RAD-WHA-1/2NPT Wireless HART adapter from Phoenix Contact simplifies and speeds up the retrofitting and expansion of systems with 4–20 mA signal cables. The adapter is connected to an existing HART device in the field to transfer HART data wirelessly into a new system, while the original system based on just 4–20 mA remains intact.
Phoenix Contact is now offering a five-port Ethernet switch with IP67 protection for use in harsh industrial environments. This switch sets itself apart as a result of the compact design and its ease of installation that makes it ideal for the machine construction sector. Its housing is only 30 mm wide so that it can be installed on a standard structural element completely and without any protrusion.
