Application: Secondary load is protected by a fuse switch or fuse

RECOM's RACPRO1 series includes high-performance three-phase DIN rail power supplies with outputs of 240, 480 and 960 watts in widths of 43, 52 and 80 millimeters. This technical article describes how to compensate for voltage drops, improve overcurrent protection and prevent damage. You will learn which measures are used to ensure that DC fuses and circuit breakers with the RACPRO1 series trigger safely.

Cincoze DC-1300 series: Power for space-limited industrial automation applications

Rugged embedded computer brand – Cincoze has launched the latest addition to the Rugged Computing – DIAMOND product line, the Entry Performance and Compact industrial computer DC-1300 series. It packs maximum performance and expansion flexibility in a compact 185 x 131 x 56.5 mm chassis.

The new SITOP PSU8400 three-phase power supplies from Siemens and the SITOP SEL1600 selectivity modules can be conveniently parameterised and diagnosed via integrated displays or IO-Link.

If shaft motors are used vertically, a counterweight is required to compensate the effect of gravity. Without a counterweight, the motor shaft would fall when de-energised. In conventional designs, the spring counterweight is a critical component as the spring ages over time and requires special attention in terms of maintenance. An innovative, maintenance-free counterweight called gLESS utilises magnetic force and enables uniform movement.

Spectra EMP-2848M: Powerful EtherCAT master

Modern industrial processes are fully automated. Motion control systems are used to control electrically driven machine axes.
