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 electronic and thermomagnetic circuit breakers from Phoenix Contact offer all of the system benefits that are important for quick and easy installation. They reliably protect devices from surges and short circuits, even when long cables are used.
With hybrid motor starters from Phoenix Contact, users switch and reverse motors quickly and reliably.Contactron switching technology enables smooth switching and relieves the load on relay contacts.
Hybrid motor starters therefore last up to ten times longer than purely mechanical switching devices.
Monitoring safe shutdowns and the movement of drive components is now even easier with the PSR Motionstop safety module from Phoenix Contact.
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.
Detecting and Analyzing Lightning Strikes
Industrial systems are frequently subject to high loads due to lightning strikes, which can cause both direct and secondary damage. The LM-S lightning monitoring system detects and analyzes lightning surge currents, providing a way to evaluate the actual system load.
All industrial sectors are striving to maintain the availability of their systems and avoid costly unplanned downtimes. Lightning strikes are a frequent cause of system failures. Electrical and electronic components should be effectively safeguarded using surge protection.
Energy data collected using the Phoenix Contact EMpro family of measuring devices can now be monitored and analyzed remotely via a Web interface. This is made possible by two new Ethernet communication modules with an integrated Web server that allow measuring devices to be quickly and easily integrated into existing Ethernet networks.
The new BT-1S-230AC/O type 3 protector from Phoenix Contact offers surge voltage protection for loads in single-phase power circuits with 230 V AC nominal voltage. The main areas of application for these universal modules are installation sockets, dado trunking, underfloor installations and connection spaces in end devices.
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.
