Engine production

Warehouses and production facilities cost money. So does procuring the numerous components required to manufacturer different variants of engines.

In order to reduce these costs, Phoenix Contact has integrated different tasks such as load switching, motor protection and potential routing in one function unit that can be easily commissioned, quickly replaced and reused in other applications.

Since the units comply with the IP54 degree of protection and can be directly installed on the machine, no control cabinets or wiring are required.

The Diag+ diagnostics software has been adapted to Interbus and Profinet IO and can be integrated into the visualization system as an ActiveX control. It reports network errors as well as the current status of individual components.

Orientation in larger systems is considerably simplified since data created within the scope of network configuration is displayed (e.g. station names or comments).

During commissioning, the cabling of the fieldbus system can be checked by the software and production can be started faster.

The CLIPLINE Complete modular terminal block system offers a uniform range of accessories for all connection methods. Screw, spring-cage, Push-In, fast or bolt connections can be freely combined with each other through the dual shaft of the plug-in bridge system.

The 2 to 50-pos. plug-in bridges make it possible to implement all the tasks of potential bridging within a very short time. Logistics costs have been reduced since bridging, marking and testing accessories are standardized. Larger labeling helps in a faster maintenance.
