With the ME-IO housing from Phoenix Contact, design engineers can create and build their own custom controllers, rather than settling for an off-the-shelf controller that doesn’t suit the application needs. A variety of widths, heights, and configurations yield a wide range of design options. The ME-IO can accommodate up to 60 connection points in an…

Phoenix Contact’s Quint O-Ring active redundancy modules use new auto current balancing (ACB) technology for precise load sharing. The ACB technology, coupled with load current monitoring, remote diagnostics and visual indications, ensures maximum reliability in redundant power systems. ACB technology automatically and symmetrically distributes the load current without regard to effects such as temperature drift. With…

The SafetyBridge makes it possible to distribute safe I/O modules in a network without the need for a safety controller. This technology allows the input and output modules to exchange safety-related signals with one another. Since the modules process the safety function themselves, the standard control system and network are only used as a transport…

The ILC, 1×1, compact controllers deliver advanced control options for small- to medium-sized systems. This series is the latest controller in the ILC family, which supports the Modbus TCP protocol, features an SD card slot, increases the flash memory size up to 2 GB, and is easier to integrate advanced features through function block libraries…

The capacitor-based, dual-layer batteries from the QUINT UPS-IQ line is similar to the lithium-ion battery introduced earlier this year, but the capacitor battery has a longer lifespan and wider temperature range than the original valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery. This capacitor-based energy storage can operate between -20 and 60 degrees Celsius. It has an operational […]

Power Supply Tips

The capacitor battery has a longer lifespan and wider temperature range than the UPS’s original valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) battery. This capacitor-based energy storage can operate between -20 and 60 degrees Celsius. It has an operational lifespan of up to 20 years based upon the ambient conditions. The original VRLA battery, by contrast, is rated…

Phoenix Contact has introduced several new versions of the FL mGuard industrial security devices. With upgraded hardware and advanced configuration options, the mGuard RS2000 and RS4000 can provide defense-in-depth cyber security in more critical applications. Like the original mGuard products, some of which were discontinued earlier this year, the RS2000 and the RS4000 variants feature…

MIDDLETOWN, PA – Phoenix Contact introduces a new range of circuit breakers that combines the advantages of fuse terminal blocks with the benefits of thermal-magnetic circuit breakers. The UT 6-TMC M series is a resettable, single-pole circuit breaker with screw connection. Tripped circuit breakers on the TMC are clearly indicated and can be easily reset…

MIDDLETOWN, PA – The new GSM/GPRS serial modem from Phoenix Contact provides global access to machines and systems via GSM connections. An integrated TCP/IP stack allows the implementation of simple control systems into the GPRS network. The PSI-GPRS/GSM-MODEM/RS232-QB-USA modem has the necessary PTCRB and AT&T approvals for legal use to GSM and GPRS networks within the…

The Lean Managed Switch (LMS), a compact, powerful, and economical managed Ethernet switch leverages the key managed functions of a managed switch with the cost of an unmanaged switch. It supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping, and easy Web-Based Management capability. These features make…
