In the past, the classic control panel consisted of a central control with switchgear, sensors and actuators, which all had to be wired individually.

Conclusion: extensive wiring effort, large and expensive control panels, time-intensive commissioning, complex trouble-shooting, limited diagnostic features.

Switchgear is connected directly to SmartWire-DT and coupled via a gateway to the control. The control circuit wiring is reduced to a minimum.

Conclusion: drastic reduction in the wiring, clear and compact control panels, short commissioning times and comprehensive diagnostic features reduce the standstill times and thus increase the availability.

New SmartWire-DT components extend the portfolio. The next additions for connection to SmartWire-DT are the circuit-breakers of the NZM series and the new electronic motor-protective circuit-breakers PKE.

Conclusion: Eaton offers a modern and forward-looking interconnection system for industrial automation with SmartWire-DT.

Safety relay ESR5 for monitoring of the safety circuits

The electronic safety relays ESR5... are an important component of the safety equipment.
In fault-free operation, the safety-relevant circuits are monitored by the electronics after the switch on command and the enable paths are enabled via the relay.

You can choose between the following safety relays:

• Emergency-Stop
• Protective door
• Light barrier
• Two-hand control
• Off delay and
• Contact extension.

The new easySafety control relay is used for monitoring safety devices at the machine.

In this way, applications can be implemented with easySafety that comply with the most stringent international safety standards such as category 4 in accordance with EN 954-1, PL e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1, SILCL 3 in accordance with EN IEC 62061 and SIL 3 in accordance with EN IEC 61508.

• Configuration by means of simple assignment of ready-to-use and tested safety function blocks.

Reliable monitoring of contactors with mirror contacts

Operational switching of motors, heating etc. is the typical task of the contactor DIL M.

In hazardous situations the contactor DIL M is used to switch off the motor which drives the hazardous motion. The state of the contactor contacts are monitored here via mirror contacts.

Positively driven auxiliary contacts for safety-relevant controls

Small control tasks – which require the duplication of contacts and the connection of large contactors to electronic outputs – are typical tasks for contactor relays.

As soon as safety-relevant circuits are affected the NO and NC auxiliary contacts may not be closed simultaneously.

Contactor relays DIL A features positively drives contacts conform to IEC EN 60947-5-1 Annex L. They can be used to safely implement control functions in safety-relevant system sections.

Redundant connection of contactors no longer necessary

The contactor monitoring relay CMD monitors the contactor´s main contacts for welding. In the case of welding the relay switches off the upstream circuit-breaker. Because of this circuits in safety catergory 3 no longer need to have a second contactor that redundantly switches off.

Using the CMD, circuitry can be designed that corresponds to Performance Level d according to ISO EN 13489.

A clear picture at a glance

Signal towers SL provide visual and audible signals of machine states, easily identifiable even at a distance.

Rising energy prices and limited fossil fuel resources make the requirement for alternative solutions in the field of electric power generation world-wide essential. At the same time, demand is increasing for energy, particularly in regions with high levels of industrial growth. The industrialised countries are also seeking to lessen their dependence on imports of oil, gas, coal and uranium.

Renewable Energies
These are the reasons why renewable energies are increasing in significance on the electricity market. They already contribute in many ways to the supply of energy and also make a significant contribution to climate protection. In particular, the diversity of useable raw materials guarantees the supply and contributes to the independence of states from fossil fuels. A further benefit: the plants and systems can be simply dismantled at the end of their service life and recycled.

Renewable energies are primarily native energy sources. An increase in their use boosts the regional contribution to value generation – an aspect which should not be neglected. These forms of energy contribute significantly to countries with underdeveloped infrastructure: large segments of the population are supplied with energy for example, by rural electrification.
Electricity generation from renewable energy sources – these are small, compact units which contrast with the large conventional power stations. This compact method of power generation is based on low-voltage technology.

Wind energy – Solar energy – Bioenergy – Photovoltaic
Moeller is ideally placed for renewable energies as a leading supplier of components and systems for energy distribution and automation. Our automation products already control and safely monitor many functions in systems and plants: For example, programmable logic controllers regulate photovoltaic power plants world-wide. In the field of power generation, such as wind energy plants, Moeller switchgear safely and reliably switches and protects the electrical power generation systems. Moeller contactors are also a guarantor for malfunction-free connection to the power grid.
Manufacturers, suppliers and installers of these systems already successfully use our products and put their trust in the proven and tested quality of Moeller products.

Actively shape the future with safe photovoltaic systems

Photovoltaic power plants convert sunlight directly into electrical energy. Photovoltaic cells are used for this purpose. Photovoltaic power is a renewable energy source which is used primarily in domestic and public buildings as well as open spaces. A differentiation is made between grid-independent systems and systems coupled to the power grid. Power grid coupled photovoltaic systems feed the generated power directly into the electrical grid. There is no need for sophisticated intermediate storage. A system of this type consists of photovoltaic cells, one or more inverters and switchgear for operation, maintenance and protection in the event of a fault. This is why photovoltaic systems coupled to the grid require very reliable and safe individual components.

Reliable grid disconnection devices

Inverters convert the DC current from the photovoltaic cells to AC current. The frequency and voltage characteristics are adapted to those of the public power grid. Reliable protection and main switches ensure safe operation. Moeller offers the right solutions here: For integrated or external mains switches, for manual or automated operation on the DC current as well as on the AC current levels.

The automotive industry is repeatedly faced by new challenges based on the increasing level of globalisation of the markets. It is essential to quickly and flexibly respond to individual demands and requests from customers with innovative and reliable vehicle models. The automobile manufacturers concentrate on core components such as the chassis and powertrains with a low in-house production depth.

The vehicles are manufactured using system components supplied by the suppliers with the assistance of a sophisticated logistical system. As a partner of the automotive industry, we provide high-quality components and products – whether they are used for electrical systems or for the automation of manufacturing processes and machines. These are decisively influenced by the respective vehicle model, and nevertheless must guarantee a high level of flexibility for the most diverse range of variants and equipment features.

A very high quality and durability are fundamental prerequisites for electro technical equipment used in production lines. Even the shortest standstill times entail very high costs for automobile manufacturers. In order to avoid such a situation, the individual components are tested and standardised. Processing and handling simplicity of the products which are used is crucial for installation and commissioning. During operation a comprehensive range of diagnostic features and quick replacement are essential.

Our product range includes switchgear such as circuit-breakers and contactors, as well as automation solutions with a PLC and visualisation. We provide tried-and-tested and innovative products ranging from the energy supply, to main switches, to the control of manufacturing processes.

Our close co-operation with the automobile manufacturers on the one hand, and machine and system suppliers on the other hand, has established us as a reliable partner in the automotive industry.

The continually increasing volume of passengers, luggage and freight represents a growing challenge for airports, airport operators and airlines. Airports have to continually adapt their baggage and freight handling capacities to the astonishing pace of development.

The airport operators have to fully rely on the technical equipment to master these demands. Airports are some of the largest and most complex systems where automation components are used. This also includes the power distribution and systems for conveying persons and luggage. High levels of availability, longevity and additional functions developed especially airport operations are of particular importance. We at Moeller are established as one of the leading providers for many airport operators in this segment.

Power Distribution and Building services
The energy supply is the umbilical cord of every airport. A power failure represents a considerable interruption of the operation and endangers the safety of passengers in every area. Redundant and networked systems are therefore used in order to ensure optimum availability and reliability. XEnergy provides the ideal platform here.

Reliability, safety, and protection of passengers are the primary concerns of the airport operators with regard to the electrical installations in airport buildings. The demand is for a high level of availability of the building infrastructure, an increasing level of remote monitoring and remote operation of the systems, a high level of service availability and transparency as well as use of standardised modules. We at Moeller, as a long-standing partner for various airport operators have developed a series of devices in building services, which ensure a smooth supply of power from the distribution board to the socket.

Motor Applications
The availability of electrical drives for luggage and cargo handling plays an increasingly important role due to the continued decrease in stopover and turnaround times. The highest levels of system availability as well as fast troubleshooting and problem rectification are essential. With Rapid Link the decentralised drive control, we provide a reliable and proven solution.

Heating – ventilation – air conditioning (HVAC) is a branch (also referred to as a sector ) of technical building installations and can therefore be categorized under overall building equipment. This is comprised mainly of the following:

• HVAC systems
• Sanitary facilities
• Material handling systems
• Electrical systems
  (power distribution, communication systems, security systems)
• Building automation.

HVAC is a collective term for all air conditioning technology. Its task is to reliably maintain the required values of temperature, air-humidity and air quality – irrespective of fluctuations in the surroundings (adjacent areas, outdoors).
For this purpose, machines (equipment) are required that dissipate (cool down) or introduce (heat up) heat to the areas concerned, which increase (humidify) or reduce (dehumidify) the level of humidity and transport the media that is used (air, water).

The following functions are vital in HVAC systems:

• Heating of rooms and warm water
• Chilling
• Ventilation
• Air conditioning

We will also be examining this in conjunction with:

• Energy distribution and
• Building automation.

The price increases over the last number of years as well as the more stringent statutory requirements, relating to minimum energy consumption requirement for building heating and air conditioning systems, has seen the introduction of comprehensive demands. Thus, the requirements for improved HVAC machines, sophisticated building automation and open higher-performance fieldbus systems enabling inter-communication of the machines/appliances with one another and the control station are steadily increasing in their level of sophistication.

Eaton's Moeller Business is a supplier of a range of electrical components in this sector.

It is of vital importance for many customers to speed up the internal logistical process, due to the persistent cost pressures and the demand for continuous increases in productivity. Optimisation of the handling process, transport and the storage of material flows are necessary. Here solutions such as automated production processes, optimised assembly lines, and efficient storage and consignment systems are in demand.

Whether it involves the movement of more goods at the main turnaround time or to turnaround goods more quickly and effectively, our products smooth the way for optimised operations and processes.

Horizontal material handling
The world is on the move and its starting to speed up. Transportation – swap in and swap out – consignment, raising, lowering, tilting – and positioning. The technology must function with precision and absolute reliability during the main goods turnover within a logistics centre. Every additional minute that the trucks or aircraft must wait costs hard cash. Our reliable and easy to handle systems offer an excellent basis for optimised logistical processes.

Safety energy distribution and load peak coverage
The quality of power distribution components becomes evident, particularly in times of peaks or overloads. Overload problems in an area of the logistics centre may not affect operations in another part of the centre. Our energy distribution products are optimally matched to one another – from the distribution board to the miniature circuit-breaker.

Stock control
There are many control and monitoring tasks in a warehouse. It is essential to control and document stock movements. Safety-relevant areas that exist may need to be protected.

The control relays of our easy series are the ideal platform for the assumption of control tasks in the warehouse. Using the control relay easySafety, it is also easily and reliably possible to protect safety-relevant areas.

Processes in the food industry
In the food industry, the level of process automation continues to increase, and this trend sets new demands – particularly in terms of the suitability of the technologies used with the stringent hygiene requirements. This is also true in the multifaceted area of industrial baked goods. This sector in Germany ranges from the Pizza (about 130 different varieties), to bread (about 300 varieties), and extends to pastries and cookies (about 1,200 varieties).
The example for the manufacture of baked goods also makes it clear that the production of food can always be classified into continually recurring process stages. These are:

• Weighing/Metering
• Mixing/Kneading
• Baking/Drying
• Cooling/Freezing
• Packaging
• Transportation
• Energy distribution and
• Documentation.

As is the case with every production process, the food manufacturing processes must be supplied first with (electrical) energy. Particularly energy-intensive are the electrical ovens required for baking and drying, as they are applied, for example, in the industrial manufacture of Pizzas.

The food industry places particularly high demands on the degree of protection and design of the electrical control elements: On the one hand, this facilitates cleaning operations, and on the other hand prevents bacterial contamination. At the same time, the production data must be recorded and monitored at all times. The European (EFSA) and the American (FDA) guidelines stipulate extensive process documentation.

As a leading component manufacturer for electrical machine equipment, we offer our customers from the food and packaging industries a high-performance product range for operation (RMQ), display (XV), switching (DIL) and protection (PKZ/NZM), right up to the control (easyControl/XC) of the machines.

More than 95 percent of long-distance transport of goods in world trade are handled by shipping according to information provided by industrial and trade federations. The increasing demand in transport capacity on the high seas shapes the entire sector. Shipping companies and shipyards develop and implement increasingly more efficient, more environmentally-friendly and safe concepts to fulfil these demands.

As a direct result, the electric drives and the supplies of these components are becoming increasingly more significant, as the interaction of the developed measures in the shipping industry is one of the main tasks of the ancillary partner industries as a lifecycle partner of the shipping company. Clean engines, optimised ventilation systems, more efficient power supply, and intelligent course planning are just some examples from companies active as ancillary industries in shipbuilding and offshore industries on the German market. In these areas both reliable and high-performance electro-technical components, controls and monitoring are required. Our switchgear and automation components have fulfilled these maritime requirements for decades.

The electro-technical equipment of today's ships is characterised by the high power density. Whether it is a container ship with a power supply for cooling refeer containers, or on a passenger cruise liner offering the highest levels of comfort and exclusivity, compliance to standards, directives and approvals is essential to guarantee the safety of ships, persons and cargo. The entire system is just as reliable as each individual component. We provide shipbuilders flexible and certified solutions for energy supply and power distribution as well as for control of the ocean going vessels.

Our product range includes switchgear such as circuit-breakers and contactors, as well as automation solutions with a PLC and visualisation. Furthermore, we offer solutions for safe operation of the system with the arc-fault protection system.

Our products comply with all standards and guidelines for maritime applications because of our close co-operation with the classification societies. Our international presence allows us to serve the manufacturing facilities as well as the after-sales services for shipowners wherever we are needed.
