Weidmuller Electronics > Weidmueller Field Power concept for distributing power throughout your Industrial Systems
Weidmuller have the perfect solution to distribute power through your industrial systems and installations.
The Weidmuller FieldPower power distributor and system cables for decentralised drive technology. Fieldpower is the flexible economic solution for decentralised power distribution in both mechanical and plant engineering.
This can be used at airports, in intra-logistics, automotive production, material recycling facilities or anywhere there is a need to share power over long distances.
Weidmuller FieldPower is proven to be the distributor solution for decentralised motor management. It has supported a well-known provider in automotive production. This is due to the variable FieldPower contact module supports the pre-assembly of cable assemblies as well as also allowing quick and precise installation at the site. The installation work can by carried out by people who are not qualified electricians. The modular design means it is simple to conduct functionality and performance tests. The operational status of the facility and the FieldPower module is read by the controller using M12 sensor cables. Weidmueller motor control units can be controlled accurately through the AS interface on the databus. Decentralised drives can simply be adapted using the FieldPower range of cables.
Weidmueller FieldPower Control
Weidmueller FieldPower Control offers the best modularity for switching and protective functions on your application. The built-in FieldPower connection system for AC/DC voltages allows for fast and error-proof installation and dependable operation. The Weidmueller FieldBus has a module lid with switching and protective functions therefore complimenting the product line. The position of the switch can be found by the M12 socket from the controller and can also be used for additional signal processing.
The FieldPower control has a snap-in mounting rail, raised cover and lower shell which also has four built-in M20 cable glands. It is ideal for installation with terminals, electronics housings and FieldPower components. Mounting rails can be used in two heights and width up to 54mm. Therefore it is easy to install a large selection of devices which can be mounted on a TS35 rail.
Cables can be routed under the mounting rails to save lots of space. The higher cover allows electronic housing to be installed within. Weidmuellers eight nose-shaped fastners allow mounting plates to be used in the cover. A maximum of nine cables can be routed into the lower section and pre-assembled cables with plugs. These allow FieldPower Control to be used as a base for decentralised functional modules, outside of the electrical cabinet.
For logistic centres that handle goods or warehouses that have a large distribution. Weidmueller’s FieldPower Control can be used to make custom solutions such as motor control units. A circuit breaker can be assessed under the hinged lid which acts to protect against short circuits and overloads from branched-off motors.
Control and alert functions can take place with an integrated communication module for data signals or direct wiring to an external I/O module. All of the cables can be connected using M12 or HQ5 interfaces for higher protection. The special feature that is included on the functional housing is the FieldPower power bus technology. This gives a fast, fault-free contact to the power line therefore creating more flexibility within the application.
FieldPower LED- The solution for outdoor lighting.
Weidmueller FieldPower LED gives a long-lasting, energy efficient lighting solution which are installed rapidly and precisely on the power bus. The lighting solution withstands the toughest environmental conditions which include very severe shocks and temperatures for example in the rotor of the wind power amenities. An additional huge benefit of FieldPower LED is it could be utilized around the world as it has a multi-voltage input from 110 to 265VAC.
Weidmueller FieldPower Led has a unique base, pre assembled cable that has IP65 protection that can be inserted into the pitch box. The LED lid supplies the interior lighting to the hub. The diverse module can be utilized for not only cold climate, but also hot climate wind power facility types.
As the LEDS have low current consumption it means that it causes a low voltage drop on the wire therefore long distances with 2.5 to 6mm2 are possible. When compared with the fluorescent FieldPower is a value for money solution for wind power facilities as it allows the whole electrical installation to be prepared in advance at the factory. There is no need for an electrical expert at the construction site. Other applications for FieldPower LED are tunnels and overhead and gantry cranes. Weidmueller FieldPower solution includes PowerBox distribution boxes, maintenance switches, plug-in connectors (optionally with fuse function), prefabricated cable sets and a large selection of accessories. The product line is made to show customers the competitive advantages and an increase in the value of the field of electrical connectivity, transmission and conditioning of power, signals and data in industrial environments.
