While this \u201cforgotten child\u201d is hiding somewhere in the dark recess of Catalogue 2, I feel that the QPD deserves some credit and limelight.<\/p>\n<p>When we present QPD, we always talk about the concept of it and how it benefits the customers in time &amp; cost saving. QPD was never meant to be in the \u201ccheap\u201d category and I think all of us know that good &amp; fast things aren\u2019t cheap!<\/p>\n<p>I would like to share my recent experience with a customer who was deals in warehouse management system. Generally, this system is actually automated conveyors &#8216;pick &amp; place&#8217; goods and deliver to a designated area.<\/p>\n<h3>Conveyor System<\/h3>\n<p>A typical conveyor system consists of 2 zones. Firstly, there is the <strong>Safe Area<\/strong> (controls) and then the <strong>field area<\/strong> (site). The Safe area usually houses the main PLC, whereas the field area is the sensors, motors, e-stops, etc. There will be multiple stations at the field area which usually stations the motors, isolators, e-stops, etc. The number of stations is very dependent on the size of the system itself. These stations are quite a distance apart from each other and power cables are necessary to be laid across the conveyor system to power up the motors, electrical components, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Conventionally, power distribution boxes are used in each station to split the main power to the respective individual stations. This power distribution box has one main requirement; at least IP65 rated. This is where QPD comes into the picture where it fulfills the IP requirement and while offering even more compared to the conventional junction boxes.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"7\">Conventional way<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_sg_0019554_int.jpg\" alt=\"Din Rail\" width=\"220\" height=\"166\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>+<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_sg_0019555_int.jpg\" alt=\"PT Terminal Block\" width=\"220\" height=\"166\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>+<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_sg_0019557_int.jpg\" alt=\"Junction Box\" width=\"220\" height=\"166\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>+<\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_sg_0019556_int.jpg\" alt=\"Cable glands\" width=\"220\" height=\"166\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Din rail<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Terminal Block<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Box<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Glands<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>QPD &#8211; The Phoenix Contact way!!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-small\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_sg_0019558_int.jpg\" alt=\"QPD H Distributor\" width=\"220\" height=\"166\" \/><strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-small\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_sg\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_sg_0019559_int.jpg\" alt=\"QPD T Distributor\" width=\"220\" height=\"166\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This solution require either the QPD H- or T- distributor only!
