The expansion of the product line includes an analog frequency converter with limit value functionality for converting standard signals to frequency or PWM signals, a limit value switch with converter relay output for switching analog limit values, a constant voltage and current source, and a NAMUR insulation amplifier for proximity initiators and voltage-free and resistive switch contacts. The easy-to-configure modules are available with screw-in or push-in connection technology.

The Mini Analog Pro isolation amplifiers can be easily installed and operated in narrow spaces. Easily visible and accessible connection points and power measurements during operation ensure convenient use.

Network-capable hybrid motor starters

The new versions of the Contactron hybrid motor starter from Phoenix Contact enable quick and easy integration into the common fieldbus systems Profibus, Profinet, CANopen®, DeviceNet, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP™.

Process data, such as motor current, is transmitted to the control system via the bus system with the aid of the corresponding gateway. This allows service intervals to be optimized, which plays a role in increasing system availability.

Thanks to the efficient wiring concept of the hybrid motor starter, the new devices also enable easy integration of the fieldbus with a short startup time. Mounting is easy with the DIN rail connector as the devices make contact as they snap on. The control signals are forwarded via the fieldbus system, therefore there is no need for digital outputs for motor control on the controller side. The extensive parallel cabling of the control and signal level is no longer required. All in all, the system offers a compact and economically attractive solution for motor control.
