The new Profibus extender from Phoenix Contact enables straightforward integration of remote Profibus devices at data rates of up to 1.5 Mbps. The extender has two DSL connections per device. This means that in addition to point-to-point connections the extender can also be used to easily establish line structures with up to 30 devices.
Two active Quint Oring redundancy modules are new in the Phoenix Contact product range. They increase the operational reliability by monitoring the redundant power supply solution from the output voltages of the power supplies through the power supply wiring up to the load, as well as the decoupling section up to the load current.
A new generation of uninterruptible power supplies now supplements the Quint Power product family from Phoenix Contact. Five new modules that can be snapped onto mounting rails are now available: For 24 V loads, the Quint UPS-IQ uninterruptible power supply has output currents of 5, 10, 20, and 40 A – and for loads with an input voltage of 85 up to 264 V AC, the Quint UPS-IQ supplies an output power of 500 VA.
Just 12.5 mm wide, the repeater power supply and input isolation amplifier MCR-Ex-SL RPSSI-2I belonging to the MACX Analog Ex product line of Phoenix Contact can be used to simultaneously supply two logic units with a 0/4…20 mA analog signal from a hazardous zone. This is HART compatible.
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.
DC/DC converters in the Quint Power design are new additions to the Phoenix Contact product range. Employing Selective Fuse Breaking (SFB) technology, these high-quality voltage converters reliably trip standard circuit breakers. Faulty circuits are selectively shut down, the fault is localized, and important system components remain operational.
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.
The new Solarcheck monitoring system from Phoenix Contact is a new reliable instrument for monitoring string currents in large-scale photovoltaic installations. The easy-to-integrate system detects losses in power caused by dirty or damaged panels. This enables targeted remedial measures to be taken so as to increase system availability and thus revenues.
