Phoenix Contact's PTCB Series Electronic Overcurrent Protection

With an adjustable range from 1 to 8 A, Phoenix Contact's new singlechannel electronic PTCB overcurrent protection is the perfect solution for protecting your critical loads. The ability to bridge the PTCB to our CLIPLINE complete portfolio of terminal blocks makes it uniquely flexible for distributing power, and the 6-mm-wide footprint saves space in the control cabinet. The line includes programmable versions, enabling them to cover a wide range of applications with a single part number.

This line complements our existing CBM and CBMC lines by providing the same dependable protection from overloads and short circuits in a singlechannel configuration. This product is ideal for applications requiring high density and effective distribution of protected power to multiple common loads.

The very narrow electronic PTCBs can be adjusted specifically to the number of loads requiring protection. They have a comprehensive range of bridging options for the input and output potentials. This protection can be adapted to the respective application with little wiring effort. Individual protection of the loads and potential distribution across several loads can be set up quickly and easily.

Phoenix Contact BTP 2000 HMIs

Phoenix Contact's new BTP 2000 expands the VISU+ EXPRESS-based HMI operator panel family with choices for applications requiring a very competitive price point.

The BTP series features a neutral, black plastic housing and is available in three wide-screen sizes (4.3-, 7.0- and 10.2-inch.) 

The resistive-touch screen allows for easy operation in all industrial environments.

The BTP series is intended for industrial applications (0 to 50 degrees Celsius ambient) and features UL Class I, Div. 2 hazardous location approval.

To accommodate the needs of OEM machine builders, the BTP features a flush, logo-less, neutral front bezel.

The HMI screens are designed with the intuitive VISU+ EXPRESS engineering tool. This free software features a wide range of predesigned symbols and supports features like alarming, trending, and logging, as well as recipe handling.

The BTP supports all major Ethernet-based communication protocols such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP. It features native drivers for major PLC vendors plus easy integration with Phoenix Contact ILC and AXC PLCs.

Phoenix Contact Tunnel and Highway Lighting Solutions

 

Phoenix Contact's ATS is a complete solution for tunnel lighting that allows the customer to monitor, control, and manage a tunnel lighting system. The design can be flexible depending on customer preference. Operators have the ability to change settings, such as brightness levels, manually or remotely via a web-based HMI. And with the U.S highway infrastructure due for an upgrade, LED lighting has become the solution of choice for tunnel lighting applications.

The system design uses four lighting sensors outside of the tunnel, which allows the system to determine the lighting inside the tunnel. Then, the ATS system controls various LED gateways to manipulate the lighting in various areas of the tunnel. The LUMGATE, or LED gateway, is Phoenix Contact’s very own lighting gateway that can connect eight LED drivers that communicate via INTERBUS. This optimizes the overall solution and allows the ATS to measure current consumption for energy management.

FEATURES

• Up to 240 lighting points without addressing
• Four luminance sensors with 25 different thresholds
• Predictive lighting maintenance
• Extended diagnostics
• Auto-calibration
• Integration and adaption
• Plug and play

Red Lion PID Controller Portfolio

Red Lion Controls, the global experts in communication, monitoring and control for industrial automation and networking, announces additional features for its PXU series of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, including Ramp/Soak, CT Input, 2nd Analog Input and 2nd Analog Output. The PXU series is designed to enable tighter, more reliable control over a wide range of processes, including temperature, flow and pressure, from a single model.

Production engineers and machine builders now have the opportunity to select from a wide range of controllers with varying capabilities and in three sizes (1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 DIN models). Integration with Red Lion’s Crimson enabled hardware provides a complete indication, data acquisition & control solution for virtually any application.

The additional features allow customers to use one source for their process control needs. For example, for processes requiring different temperatures, the Ramp/Soak capability allows timeline vs. temperature programming for the process that will automatically be run by the PXU. With CT input, high current signals can be transferred to lower ones in order to be safely accepted by a PID controller or panel meter. For remote changing of a PID controller’s setpoint value, the 2nd Analog Input allows modification from an external device.

“By offering PID controllers with a range of different features, plus the ability to easily integrate with an HMI, customers have the advantage of purchasing one solution to handle whatever their applications require,” said Jeff Thornton, product manager at Red Lion Controls. “Many users have applications that need specific features and functions, and our offerings provide the flexibility to simply tailor a complete solution from one manufacturer.”
