NGINEERS LECTRONICS FOR April 2024 In this issue
Puls said the demand for flexible, modular systems is shaping the world of automation, control and machine building. Decentralisation of system components has proven to be an important factor in this growing trend. It speeds up the system planning process, simplifies installation and maintenance, and facilitates further expansion. For many system builders and installers, the power supply has been an obstacle on the path to consistent decentralisation. In particular, where the functions such as selective current distribution, protection and condition monitoring need to be implemented whilst providing maximum reliability and uptime.
