Powerful New Safety Relays are Just 6mm Wide

The new PSR Mini relays from Phoenix Contact are the world’s slimmest safety relays with the power of a large safety relay. With their compact 6-mm width, they ensure high safety thanks to positively driven contacts.

Phoenix Contact’s new relay technology makes this compact design possible. The design is based on a slim but powerful basic relay characterized by minimal space requirements, low energy consumption, and high system availability.

The safety relays switch loads up to 6 amperes, are compatible with many signal transducers, and can be used in many different applications thanks to extensive approvals. This makes the new products especially suitable for mechanical engineering and process industry applications.

For users, these slim modules require up to 70 percent less space. Since only a single enabling contact is needed, applications can be built with new and improved cost-effectiveness. Safety relays can even be used to build distributed systems in potentially explosive areas. The terminal carriers also enable the use of system cabling solutions for a fast and correct start-up and field connection.

The complete PSR Mini range of safety relays consists of 6-mm and 12-mm models.

Designline 7000

The iF DESIGN AWARD is a highly respected award that recognizes independent and reputable industrial designs worldwide.

In 2014, Phoenix Contact’s Designline 7000 successfully merged art and industrial design allowing the Desginline 7000 to clinch the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD in 2015.

The Designline 7000 was identified as a product of excellence, and commended for multi touch functionality coupled with an intuitive design for industrial applications.

Designline Industrial PCs are powerful computers with multi touch function for industrial applications. For example, they can be used as hardware platform for complex visualization and control tasks. Whether in the classic 4:3 format or as widescreen device; thanks to the integrated VESA 100 bracket, Designline industrial PCs can be mounted directly on the machine in a user-friendly manner. The all-round IP65-protected housing and the high temperature resistance from -20 °C to +55 °C allow for assembly without control cabinet cover panels. Thanks to the service hatch, all necessary components can still be accessed easily and servicing carried out quickly.

SG50To commemorate Singapore’s Golden Jubilee, Singapore has lined up a series of events and programs to celebrate what we call “ SG50 ”. While the whole nation looks into additional ideas of celebration ideas, it led me to reflect back on the past 50 years of nation development……

FAME 2 – “Masuk (Enter), Tolak (Push), Pulas Atas (Twist Upwards), Pulas Bawah (Twist Downwards)”

From |

I remember when I was a kid and whenever my dad drops by a petrol station for petrol refueling everything was pretty much manual. Luckily in those days every petrol station in Malaysia you can find very helpful petrol attendants who will always ask “Penuh?” (“Full tank?”). Most of the time we as consumers never bothered to care about the refueling procedures as we know the petrol attendants will take care of the “complicated” procedures  for us.

All these “Relying on the Petrol Attendant for refueling” experience ended somewhere in 1999 where Petronas introduced the “self-service” concept for petrol refueling. It was a nightmare to a lot of Malaysians who think petrol refueling procedure is complicated but this change was necessary as Petronas was trying to have their petrol stations run more cost-effectively. To counter the fear of Malaysians towards self-service petrol refueling, Malaysians were being introduced to a revolutionary campaign of “Angkat (Lift), Tolak (Push), Masuk (Enter), Picit (Squeeze)”.
