Reliability is a choice
Phoenix Contact
A reliable power supply is important for the continuity of your production process. Phoenix Contact offers solutions for a systematic design of your power supply in control cabinets. By selecting solutions within the Complete Line program, products are well matched with the aim of maximizing your installation's uptime.
For a systematic design, it is important to gain insight into the grid condition beforehand. This provides insight into whether standard measures are sufficient or whether additional measures must be taken. Keywords such as overvoltage, mains pollution and overload are important here. These terms are often familiar to mains power supplies, but what about 24VDC power supply systems?
There was a time when you "just" bought a power supply, selected the power just a little bit heavier than last time because there were a few extra components in the system. These days are over. Installations are becoming more and more complex. Sensitive electronics are being used more and more and require a good quality power supply. By adding more diagnostic options also in the 24VDC area, early failure and unexpected downtime can be prevented.
It is therefore important to also monitor and secure the power supply from the entry into the control cabinet. Of course for your own installation, but also for the surrounding installations. It is important to match the right components to each other; the right power supply, short-circuit protection, overvoltage protection, redundancy and monitoring.
We take you through four short films in which we give you an idea of what is involved in making good choices.
The themes are:
1. Monitoring
2. Protection (protection against overvoltage)
3. 24V DC Power supply systems
4. Increasing availability

Sekisui AlveoRead moreFoam producer Sekisui Alveo has a large factory in Roermond. To support production and maintenance, warehouses and distribution points with thousands of different items are spread across the various halls. Think spare parts, personal protection equipment and consumables. The company cooperates intensively with itsme for management, such as recently with the step-by-step introduction of vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the grab stock of mechanical items.
-
IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’
-
Heliox - Charged for DeliveryRead moreHeliox, a developer and manufacturer of charging systems for electric buses and trucks, was already working with itsme when production still took place in the Netherlands. Today, production has shifted to Slovakia, Portugal, and Moldova, and is also happening in the US. itsme remains the “irreplaceable” partner for the supply of electrical components and cable harnesses.
-
BLOK System SupplyRead moreBlok System Supply and itsme have maintained an intensive relationship for many years. Early last year, this was further deepened with electronic data exchange via the Smart Connected Supplier Network. ‘It saves an enormous amount of time and reduces errors. We always have real-time information automatically.’ However, time for personal contact is not saved. ‘That is precisely what makes itsme a very nice party to work with.’
