Compact LED signal lights for direct machine integration

The new PSD-SL LED signal light series by Phoenix Contact is a compact solution for application-oriented signaling directly on machine functions. The lights are versatile, robustly built and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

The new PSD-SL LED signal lights from Phoenix Contact enable clear, functional signaling directly on the application. They are available in two designs – Point and Tower – and feature a choice of three or seven colors, depending on the version. Various light animation sequences such as flashing and color changes enable flexible adaptation to different signaling tasks, such as machines, automated guided vehicle systems (AGVSs), and service robots.

The lights are connected via a 5-position, A-coded M12 connector and controlled with 24 V DC via 4-bit switching. Mounting is simple with the M22 installation opening; the mounting material is included in the scope of delivery. With IP66, IP67, IP69, IP6K9K and UL Type 4/4X degrees of protection and a wide temperature range of -40 to +70°C, the lights are also suitable for harsh industrial environments both indoors and outdoors. The PSD-SL series complements Phoenix Contact’s signaling portfolio with a compact, robust, and versatile solution for the immediate machine environment.

New feed-in module with Modbus TCP communication interface

The possible applications of the Caparoc circuit breaker system from Phoenix Contact have been extended. With the new feed-in module with Modbus/TCP interface, the system can be used in other communication systems.

The Caparoc electronic circuit breaker system is being extended to include another feed-in module. This new module is equipped with a Modbus/TCP communication interface. It offers users exceptional flexibility and efficiency in terms of overload and short-circuit protection, while at the same time providing a high level of transparency in the application. Modbus/TCP is often used in industrial applications as it enables reliable and fast communication via Ethernet. It is characterized by its simple integration and high degree of compatibility with various devices. This makes it a preferred choice for modern control systems.

The feed-in module enables real-time monitoring and analysis of all relevant data via the Modbus/TCP interface. This results in precise control, which minimizes the risk of failures and increases the reliability of the entire system. Due to the simple integration and universal use of Modbus/TCP, the module is compatible with existing systems and devices. Featuring advanced technology, the feed-in module is also ideally equipped for future requirements.
