operation, Turtle has designed a demonstrator that comprises an array of WAGO equipment. “Typically, these control applications include a PLC plus I/O, connecting the system to the wider process and networks,” explains Andy. “WAGO products supply these electronic interfaces with DC power, along with protective equipment, and metering.” In addition to WAGO’s new generation, compact electronic circuit breakers (ECB) and Pro 2 power supply unit (PSU), the demonstrator also includes a WAGO compact logic controller CC100. Via its integrated web server, the controller runs an interactive display. The demonstration also showcases WAGO’s timers for the control circuitry, as well as relay-controlled resistors that emulate an electrical load.
DEMONSTRATION UNIT
“With the working demonstrator, we can show a customer how WAGO equipment safely manages the power supply in a highly efficient way and enables real time condition monitoring. For example, in the event of an overload, instead of the downtime associated with fuse replacement, the equipment just needs a reset to return it operational status, minimising downtime and cost,” says Turtle. Presenting WAGO control, power, and interface products in real-world settings, it was important to mount them in an industrial enclosure that would provide fast, simple access, and also demonstrate robust and safe protection.
For WAGO’s demonstration unit, Spelsberg specified a range of enclosures from its AK distribution board range, rated up to 1kW DC / 690 AC, and providing IP65 protection with IK07 impact resistance. “When we need to provide enclosures to mount and protect our products, we use Spelsberg,” says Turtle. “The build quality of Spelsberg’s enclosures is always very high, and as well as being durable long- term, the boxes are simple to use, whether installing equipment into the enclosure, or mounting the box.”
CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH SPELSBERG While WAGO and Spelsberg already enjoy a close working relationship, this is based on easy communication thanks to rapid, in-person support. “Spelsberg’s customer services are fast, they’re accommodating, and delivery is very timely, so the whole buying experience is worthy of mention,” says Turtle. “Their ethos is very much like WAGO. We focus on quality engineering, backed up with quality support that quickly enables engineers to do their job.” “It’s a great relationship,” explains Spelsberg UK’s national sales manager, Clare McCusker. “As well as supplying WAGO with enclosures for their customer projects, including their demonstration units, we also specify WAGO products in our products, including the terminal connections used across many enclosures in the Spelsberg range.”
