Industrial applications such as professional food equipment, medical equipment, and renewable energy systems require devices with smaller footprints. Solid state relays (SSR) provide the advantages of long service life expectancy, no contact bounce or arching, zero-crossing capability, low power input, and high resistance to shock and vibration. In addition, PCB mount solid state relays provide space savings and have specific power requirements.
Phoenix Contact’s expanded BC modular housing series gives building automation engineers more design flexibility. The family now includes new enclosures with Push-in connection and upper housings in more widths. For the first time, Push-in PCB terminal blocks are available for the BC 17,8 (1 HP). The FKDSO 1,5 and FKDSO 2,5 terminal blocks make it possible to implement future-proof applications with up to 16 positions per module. The coordinated housing and connection system reduces design time for developers. The 3.5- and 5-mm pitch terminal blocks are designed for currents up to 22 A. They come in three and four positions and can easily be combined in a single upper part.
Phoenix Contact’s new zero-cut block optimizes tedious measuring when aligning perforation holes in DIN rail. The accessory to the DIN rail cutters enables quick, repeatable cuts, reducing errors and waste and saving time. An adjustable slide makes it easy to set zero-cut conditions for a fast, efficient cutting process. The adapter is designed for perforated DIN rail types NS 35/7,5, NS 35/15, and NS 15.
Building engineers can simplify room automation projects in hospitals, data centers, and commercial buildings with the new Catan controller family from Phoenix Contact. Catan is programmed with Phoenix Contact’s Emalytics software based on the Niagara 4 framework. This makes it easy to integrate with new and existing building management systems using communications protocols such as BACnet, KNX, Modbus, MQTT, OPC UA, and more.
Schneider Electric announces the launch of the SpaceLogic Touchscreen Room Controller, an all-in-one device that leverages modern technology and seamlessly merges an innovative user interface with advanced functionality, setting a new standard for energy management and room control in buildings.
