Where the controller becomes a modular control cabinet The MX-System is a uniform modular automation component that can be used to replace traditional control cabinets with modules in many applications. The system consists of a robust aluminium baseplate in protection class IP67 with integrated module slots that feature EtherCAT for communication and an integrated power supply (safety extra-low voltages as well as 400 V AC and 600 V DC). The largest expansion stage can even accommodate a connected load of 400 V AC/63 A. Corresponding modules are available for the mains connection and all other control cabinet functions. When it comes to connecting the field level, the modules use connection plugs that have been tried and tested for many years in the field of automation technology. A system combination of baseplate and modules has a protection class of IP67 and can be mounted directly on the machine. The system reduces the amount of effort involved for the manufacturer, especially during the planning and installation phases, while the integrated diagnostic functions reduce the complexity for the end user. This all combines to result in a modular control cabinet system with a high protection class that can be mounted on the machine without the need for additional protective housings.

ICP Australia introduces a new three-phase Smart Power Meter ICP Australia has introduced ICP DAS’s PM-3133 Series, which is inclusive of 3-phase smart power meter. The PM-3133 series gives you access to real-time electric usage for three-phase power measurement. With its high accuracy (<0.5 per cent, PF=1 ), the PM-3133 series can be applied to both low voltage primary side and/ or medium/high voltage secondary side and enables the users to obtain reliable and accurate energy consumption readings from the monitored equipment in real time under operation. Furthermore, these compact size and cost-effective power meters are equipped with wired clip-on CT (various types, support input current up to 400 A). The PM-3133 Series operates over an input voltages range 10 ~ 500 VAC that allows worldwide compatibility, and with two channels relay outputs, it can be linked with sirens or lightings for alarm messages. The series also supports Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP or CANopen protocols for easy integration.
Features include: • • • • • • • • • •
Bi-directional energy. True RMS power measurements. Energy analysis for 3P4W, 3P3W, 1P3W, 1P2W. Current measurements up to 100 A with different CT ratio. Voltage measurements up to 500 V. Clip-on CT for easy installation. W accuracy better than 0.5 per cent (PF=1). Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Supports Modbus RTU protocol. Supports 2 power relay output (Form A).
