Rittal Blue e IoT Adapter


Rittal, the global leader for industrial enclosures, climate control, power management systems, and automation services, now offers a special adapter that retrofits comprehensive communications capabilities to ensure that you can integrate existing Blue e cooling units into condition monitoring and IoT systems.

Smart manufacturing is driven by the rise of technology; digital retrofit may be the most economical solution when a company’s equipment lacks adequate communication capabilities. When installed, the new adapter ensures the units can link up to smart condition monitoring and IoT systems.

Higher system availability
The new adapter can be used to set up condition monitoring for up to 10 cooling units in a master/slave arrangement. That means not only can data be recorded, but efficiency analyses can also be carried out on the cooling solution. A monitoring system that issues automatic notifications can also be set up to detect faults and limit breaches, thereby helping boost availability and prevent expensive machine downtime.

The new adapter is compatible with all NEMA 12, 3R/4, and 4X rated – both wall and roof-mounted – Blue e units that employ Rittal’s Comfort Controller. The NEMA 3R/4 or NEMA 4X classification, which are often used outdoors, are ideally suited for incorporation into IoT applications. Typical examples of outdoor applications for these units include renewable energy facilities such as solar and wind power plants. As these plants are usually located in isolated areas, it is essential that they incorporate remote monitoring.

Straightforward commissioning 
Combining the IoT Interface with the IoT Adapter, Blue e cooling units may be integrated into higher-level systems. Rittal developed the new IoT Adapter because the older Blue e units cannot communicate directly with the IoT interface. The whole system can be configured and commissioned via the web server integrated into the IoT interface – quickly, conveniently and without the need for any programming.

“Our new Blue e adapter is the ‘easy way’ to get cooling units IoT-ready in industrial applications,” said Mike Freund, managing director for the U.S. at Rittal. “For a company to truly implement smart manufacturing, its machinery and equipment must be able to communicate over a network, our new special adapter retrofits existing cooling units to offer comprehensive communication capabilities.”

Rittal AX/KX Wallmount Enclosures


Since Rittal was founded, the company’s impressive innovative strength has spawned numerous enclosure generations, with millions of units in use – always ahead of their time. The latest generation – the AX – is a response to the challenges of the Industry 4.0 era and is the new original. Rittal’s new AX/KX line of wallmount and compact enclosures improve efficiency, flexibility, safety and simplicity.

The two latest additions to the Rittal enclosure portfolio offer you improved features, and new opportunities for value creation. The time savings begin with delivery: panels can be removed individually; there is no need for the usual disassembly work. It is also easier to install doors and cam locks, and typically without the need for tools. The wall mounting bracket can now be quickly screwed into place from the outside of the compact or small enclosure – and without impacting the protection rating. This also substantially reduces the risk of damage during transit as the brackets, which protrude beyond the sides of the enclosure, can be attached on-site at the final destination.

A further advantage is the more ample space available in the AX and KX compared to their predecessors, the AE, CM, KL, EB and BG. The increasing number of sensors and actuators being deployed in the switchgear industry is, in turn, raising the quantity of cables to be housed. The new enclosures’ modular design, improved cut-outs, and larger gland plates, create on average a third more space for cables. In addition, integrated locators in the side panels enable simple, precise and time-saving incorporation of the interior installation rails. As the rails also make use of 25mm spacing (pitch pattern), it is possible to use accessories, such as lights or terminal blocks, from the VX25 portfolio. This allows a smaller parts inventory, and there is no need for machining, such drilling, etc.

Safety is a high priority with all Rittal enclosures. When components are installed in the AX and KX, their protection category is maintained without any restrictions. This also applies to UL certification, which is essential for deployment on the North American market. Overall, the new design features make the compact enclosures more robust, and ensure greater resistance in particular to dynamic loads.

Suitable for many requirements
The new product lines provide answers to many and varied needs. KX small enclosures from 150mm x 150mm x 80mm are suitable if only a few components are to be housed in terminal boxes and bus enclosures. AX compact enclosures are available with depths between 120mm and 400mm, and in a maximum size of 1000mm x 1400mm. For all models, there is a choice of spray-finished sheet steel or stainless steel. Despite the greater number of potential use cases, the total number of components and accessories, and as a result complexity, has been markedly reduced.

Rittal SE8 Freestanding Enclosures



Rittal announces their SE8 line of freestanding enclosures. Unlike bayed enclosure suites with frames and removable side panels, the body of the SE8 - consisting of two side panels and a roof - is made from one piece of sheet steel. The rear panel of the enclosure is screwed on for easy access and cable entry can be handled in a variety of ways using the integrated base frame. The full compatibility with the TS8 system makes it easy to integrate the SE8 freestanding enclosure with other bayed TS8 systems.

Because the enclosure body and the section of the SE8 are formed out of one piece of sheet steel, overall cost is reduced. The SE8 offers major potential savings, especially in larger widths where a single enclosure can be used instead of multiple bayed enclosures.

Rittal TopTherm Filter Fan Line


Rittal is excited to announce the launch of the new TopTherm Filter Fan Line. The product line has been designed to step up to 21st Century demands with the latest in technology and efficiency. And, it’s designed to make installation and upgrades fast and smooth without any tools and at the same competitive price!

Thanks to its well-known quick-fit mounting technology, TopTherm filter fans easily snap into prepared mounting cutouts. For an easy transition, the new filter fans are compatible with mounting cutouts of existing Rittal filter fans. Fan motors can be reversed just as easily to change the airflow direction. Power connections can be positioned as required for easy wiring, and spring clamp terminals make power installation a tool-less process. The louvered grill latches for easy access so filter mat replacement is quick and efficient and does not require any tools.

Sized and designed for today’s installations
The new lineup of filter fans is available in capacities from 12 to 424 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a full range of voltages. The unique diagonal fan motor design provides greater pressure stability, which results in a higher and more constant airflow, even if a filter mat is contaminated. Airflow spreads diagonally from the fan promoting a more even air distribution throughout an enclosure. The new design also enhances installation at reduced depths and helps to extend the life of the filter materials.

Protection and Environmental Rating
Thanks to the standard foam-in-place gasket, Rittal filter fans easily maintain the UL Type 12 or IP 54 integrity of an enclosure without additional screws. Most models can be upgraded to IP 55 with the use of an additional fine filter mat. And, newly designed rainproof shrouds provide an upgrade to a UL Type 3R/4/4X or IP 56 rating.

TopTherm Filter Fans feature:
  • Redesigned fan and outlet louvers
  • New diagonal fan technology (except 3237)
  • New and optimized hose-proof hoods
  • Tool-less snap-in mounting
  • Tool-less electrical connections
  • Tool-less reversal of airflow
  • Tool-less access for filter mat replacement
