Smart IP67 power supply for modular machines

PSU67 series power supply units from Turck Banner en able simpler and flexible installation in distributed and modular plants – directly in the field. Machines and plants are increasingly designed as modular systems in order to respond quickly to chang ing production and market requirements. This requires the use of decentralised system components – including cabinet-free power supply. Turck Banner’s decentralised power supply units in its PSU67 series can be installed precisely where they are needed, directly in the field, and without requiring addi tional protective housing. This gives system builders the flexibility to design applications to meet specific plant requirements. Communication via IO-Link The worldwide standard IO-Link technology provides communication from the controller to the field level, where the decentralised power supply is located. And the power supply units supply important data and pa rameters to the controller, such as error messages, volt age, temperature, fuse status and operating hours, via the IO-Link interface. IO-Link also enables remote access. This can be used to switch the power supply units on and off, to set the voltage and to reset any triggered channels. The data can be routed from an IO-Link master on to the controller or to the cloud. Thus, the power supply units can be used to extend existing condition monitoring systems. Field installation The use of PSU67 power supply units is a significant step towards creating end-to-end decentralisation. De pending on the application, the need for control cabinets and switch boxes can be eliminated completely. With protection to IP67, power supply units can be installed directly at the machine without any additional protective measures. As an alternative to the relay output (‘DC-OK’), which is also provided, status monitoring via IO-Link of With the new IL ETH BK-PAC Inline bus coupler for Modbus/TCP (UDP), Phoenix Contact has expanded its product portfolio for setting up re mote I/O solutions in the control cabinet. The bus coupler, with IP20 protection rating, supports all available Inline I/O modules, including the branch modules for opening a remote bus branch. It adds another network to the portfolio of the new generation of the compact Inline bus couplers. The new bus coupler with two RJ45 ports enables daisy-chain wiring and automatically detects the network and local bus speed. The firmware update capability means New bus coupler for Ethernet

With protection to IP67, the power supply units can be installed directly at the machines. fers additional support for the implementation of modular designs. The LED interface and buttons on the device allow for direct and user-friendly parameterisation and enable use in a wide range of applications. Integrated outputs protected with an eFuse reduce the cabling re quirement and make it possible to use cables of smaller cross-sections. This provides the user with more benefits in terms of flexibility and costs, particularly in extensive applications. A universal solution Turck Banner’s PSU67 power supply units offer M12 S-coded, 7/8” or HAN Q connection options on the pri mary side and M12 L-coded, 7/8” or HAN Q connection options are provided on the secondary side. Efficiency is always over 95%, whether a single or three-phase, 200, 360 or 600 W supply is used. The output voltage can be configured either directly on the device, or remotely via IO-Link and can be optimised with 24 to 28 Vdc over long transmission routes. The configurable fuses make it possible to adapt the output power precisely to the re quirements of specific applications. the latest firmware can always be loaded onto the device. The bus coupler is connected to controllers for Modbus/TCP (UDP) or directly to a PC. With a PC, programming and control can be performed using high level languages. The integrated web-based management can be used to retrieve static information, such as the technical data of the device, and dynamic information, such as the current local bus configuration. To increase network security, specific individual, unused ports can be blocked via web-based management. For more information contact Phoenix Contact SA.
