E-T-A REX12D System - Now Available with Enhanced Functionality

January 26, 2024

Functional Enhancement of the REX12D Intelligent System

The REX12D intelligent system is ideally adapted to the requirements of machine construction and process control. The compact and modular design, the innovative connection technology and the great number of different devices provide a competitive edge over standard solutions to protect your DC 24 V power distribution.

By extending the functional scope of the REX12D system you are free to decide where to set your focus.

Standard Version with Status Recording of 32 Channels

In the standard version, the EM12D-TIO supply module communicates with now 32 channels instead of 16 channels. The status of the channels is transmitted to the superordinate IO link master.

REX12D Standard

Enhanced Version with Recording of Measuring Values and Data Analysis

The extended version sets the focus on the recording of measuring values and on the analysis of these measuring data of 16 channels. By means of a cyclical transmission of the load currents, changes in the current consumption of individual loads can quickly be detected. This allows efficient control and maintenance and significantly cuts downtimes.

E-T-A SPR10-T: Solid State Remote Power Controller

January 3, 2024

The SPR10-T is a solid state remote power controller and is suitable for DC 12 V and DC 24 V applications. A special feature of the SPR10-T is that it combines switching and protecting functions in a single device. In addition, it offers status indication by means of LED and status output.

Reliable Switching Operation with Overcurrent Portection

Unlike conventional electronic and mechanical relays, the SPR10-T provides integral overcurrent protection. An additional external overcurrent protection element is not required. In the event of a failure, only the faulty path is disconnected and the fault is indicated at the device or at the status output; all other circuits remain unaffected. This ensures quick and easy trouble-shooting and increases machine uptime and system availability.

Four Functions In One Unit

  • solid state relay with control input (ON delay 1.5 ms)
  • electronic overcurrent protection (trip at 1.3 x IN)
  • status signalling (by means of LED and status output)
  • integral power distribution (by means of busbars)

For Powerful Loads

Direct mounting on symmetrical rails allows fast and flexible installation. In addition, several devices can very easily be connected by means of busbars, reducing wiring time to a minimum.

With current ratings of 20A and 25A, the SPR10-T is particularly suitable for powerful loads with a high current demand and a cable cross sections up to 10mm².

The combination of these properties is, with a width of only 12.5 mm, an efficient and compact solution for your application. You do not only save components, storage costs and space in the control cabinet, but you also significantly reduce planning and wiring efforts.

Technical Data

  • Voltage rating DC 12 V/DC 24 V
  • Operating voltage DC 9…32 V
  • Number of poles 1-pole
  • Signal outputs DC 24 V / max. 0,2 A
  • Status indication 1 LED, green/orange/red
  • Temperature range -25 °C…+60 °C
  • Terminal design screw terminals
  • Certificates UL 2367, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14

E-T-A MPR20 Monostable Electro-Mechanical Power Relay

June 27, 2023

An energy-efficient monostable power relay, featuring a reliable and robust design for a long life span.

Power Saving and Reduced Fuel Consumption also with a Monostable Design
In the event of a power disruption, the electro-mechanical MPR20 will at once go into its original state due to its monostable design. Monostable means that only one switching status is stable – which is normally the OFF condition. The ON condition can only be achieved by excitation of the coil.

The specific design with an electronically activated coil reduces the holding power by the factor 10. Reduction of holding power by 80 % and of the pull-in power by 50 % allows direct connection to the controlgear and provides additional cost and environmental advantages in spite of a monostable design.

Reliable and Robust Design, Remaining Unchanged Over The Entire Life Span
It is the lightest water-proof and dust-proof power relay with protection degree IP67 on the market. The use of modern fibre reinforced moulded materials saves more than 50 % weight compared to standard relays. Using special epoxies ensures a long life span even under harshest environmental conditions.

Typical Applications
• Buses, trucks, construction machinery, agricultural vehicles and forestry equipment as well as special vehicles
• Air conditioning, compressor units, battery master switches and applications in accordance with machinery directives

Standards
• ISO 16750
• IATF 16949
• ECE R118
• ECE R10
• ASIL upon request

Benefits
• Reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions due to a 90 % lower holding power
• Flexible installation for demanding applications due to a robust, water- and dust-proof design
• Reduced installation time through direct connection to the controlgear
