Controller PFC200 XTR

The PFC200 XTR Controller for extreme environments: Engineering, controlling and visualizing where other controllers can't. Extreme protection against climatic influences, vibrations, shocks and surges is backed by an embedded Linux operating system and WAGO’s CODESYS 3-based e!RUNTIME environment. These features and capabilities separate the controllers from the competition.

With the PFC200 XTR Controller, WAGO offers a rugged device that is second to none and excels in extreme environments. Needing no additional protective equipment, the controller defies temperature fluctuations of -40 to +70 °C, has extreme resistance to impulse voltage up to 5 kV, is immune to interference and vibration-proof up to 5g.

Your Advantages with the PFC200 XTR Controller:
  •     Linux® real-time operating system
  •     CODESYS 2 runtime system and e!RUNTIME (CODESYS 3)
  •     Telecontrol protocols
  •     Comprehensive XTR product line of complementary devices
Embedded Linux is available for users who are ready to take complete control and prefer the direct use of a lean and secure operating system. This real-time Linux software provides a wide range of advantages, including the flexibility of using “open source” code that adapts the source code to a user's specific needs at any time. Another huge advantage: Extend the functionality of your control application on the PFC200 by integrating open source packages or with external CODESYS libraries in the base image.

Its e!RUNTIME environment based on CODESYS 3 and real-time-capable Linux® operating system make the PFC200 XTR the efficient control system for your automation tasks – including locations that demand more than a typical automation system can provide. The PFC200 XTR Controller also stands apart because it packs dual operating systems. Choose to use the e!COCKPIT engineering software based on CODESYS 3 or WAGO-I/O-PRO based on CODESYS 2 to design your projects.

PFC200 XTR variants can also serve as telecontrollers. They support the DNP3 communication standard in addition to the IEC 60870-5-101, -103, -104, IEC 61850 and IEC 61400-25 standards. Even the available interfaces signal how flexible the PFC200 XTR Controllers truly are. Two versions are available with different communication interface configurations: either two ETHERNET connections and an RS-232/RS-485 interface or two ETHERNET connections, RS-232/RS-485, CAN, CANopen and PROFIBUS DP Slave interfaces.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
