In today’s market, customers are looking for vendors who can value add, making them stand out in the sea of competitors. One of the orders we often receive is to supply a complete package system from the cabinet to the components level.

Our collaboration with local partners makes Phoenix Contact the preferred solutions provider. Backed by comprehensive components from Phoenix Contact, control cabinets supplied and superior engineering services are the root of our initial success in the Process market in Indonesia.

Problems which the customer faced before are as follows:

  • Having to contact several vendors for the different scopes of supply, such as electrical components, control cabinet, wiring and installation

System Cabling Solution for Process Industry

One of the challenges which panel builders in the process industry face would be space saving on control cabinets. Many Process retrofitting jobs require panel builders to ensure the quantity of cabinets remain even though additional I/O’s are added. System cabling is one of the best solutions to save space in control cabinets.  One of our panel builders solved their problems by replacing terminal blocks with our VARIOFACE Interface Module for the project.

Problems:

  • Additional 150 I/O’s on current system
  • Additional Controller Module
  • Cabinet Quantities need to be remained

After going through the product technical information, panel builder engineers decided to replace most of the signals with our VIP Interface Module due to space constraints. There are a total of 115 units of VIP-3/SC/D37SUB/F installed in this project. Photos of the panel are shown below.

Features of Interface Module:

  • Compact design of control cabinet space
  • I/O marking for field wiring clearly identified
  • Flexible marking of modules
  • Metal mounting foot allows for easy installation and removal on din-rail
  • Allows flexible module mounting positions

In addition to the space saving advantage, the site engineer shared that it is also time saving and fault free during the wiring termination. When the panels are delivered, the end user saves valuable time when installing and troubleshooting

If you need any technical advice on your current project, feel free to contact us. I believe we can be your trusted partner to provide suitable solution to fit your application!

The lights are easy to install – no need for tools. The product range consists of two performance classes in addition to the cabling and mounting accessories. The class 600 lights have an AC wide range input and can be connected in series. They are switched on and off automatically via the integrated motion detector. A country-specific socket allows external devices to be operated even if the control cabinet is disconnected from the power supply.

The compact class 400 lights are supplied with 24 V DC. A choice of three light lengths and the swiveling light window ensures a perfect fit with a range of control cabinet widths and control cabinet panel installation depths. The lights can also be connected in series and can either be switched on and off manually using the integrated switch or automatically via the upstream door position switch.
