Compact monitoring modules

Worldwide use!


Demand for monitoring of power supply and drives using measuring and control technology is increasing in all aspects of power technology, as well as in automation and plant engineering. Whether motors or transport units such as conveyor belts, elevators, etc., are to be monitored for direction of transport or overload, or whether a three phase network is to be evaluated to check that the load is symmetrical, the monitoring modules are a simple and inexpensive solution.



There is now a new generation of monitoring modules for these monitoring tasks. Mains parameters, such as single phase current, one and three phase voltage, as well as the phase parameters in three phase systems can be evaluated and a signal output via relay outputs in the event of a deviation from the values defined.

This new generation has the following features:

  • Standard SL devices with individual functions
  • Functional FL devices with multi functions
  • Simple diagnostics with differnt color LEDs for supply voltage, relay states and threshold values
  • Potentiometer for min., max setting, hysteresis, delay, hold off time, etc.
  • Variable voltage supply with the pluggable Power module (Standard Line devices) or integrated wide-range power supply (Function Line devices)
  • One or two floating PDTs, both with a width of 22.5 mm

The devices are designed for DIN rail mounting.


Current monitoring


Devices with difference input ranges of 0...1 A to 0...10 A are available for undercurrent monitoring, both for DC and for AC voltage. Parameters such as hysteresis and dropout delay can be set on the front panel.




Voltage monitoring

There are devices for monitoring for overvoltage or undervoltage in single phase systems, as well as monitoring for undervoltage in three-phase networks. Parameters such as hysteresis and dropout delay can be set on the front panel.

Thermistor monitor

There are also modules for monitoring PTCs, i.e. temperature-dependent resistances that are included in the motor windings by the manufacturer and supply information on the motor temperature. You can monitor up to 6 PTCs in series. A test function and an external reset are also possible.
