Active redundancy modules - Phoenix Contact
Phoenix Contact offers a range of active redundancy modules that are designed to ensure high system availability and reliability in industrial environments. These modules are crucial for applications where power supply continuity and system uptime are critical, such as in automated manufacturing, process control systems, and other demanding applications.
Active redundancy modules from Phoenix Contact work by paralleling two power supplies and continuously monitoring their status. If one power supply fails, the active redundancy module automatically switches to the other, maintaining uninterrupted power to the connected load. This switch occurs seamlessly, with no interruption to the device or system being powered.
One of the key features of these modules is their ability to perform diagnostics. They come equipped with comprehensive monitoring capabilities that provide information on the status of the power supplies, including voltage and current levels, health status, and any fault conditions. This information can be integral for preemptive maintenance and troubleshooting, helping reduce downtimes and improve system efficiency.
Moreover, Phoenix Contact’s active redundancy modules are designed with robustness in mind. They are built to withstand harsh industrial environments, featuring high resistance to vibrations, temperature variations, and electromagnetic disturbances. This makes them a reliable choice for ensuring the resilience of critical systems across various sectors.
