In order to better meet the power needs of global automakers, Emerson has expanded its SolaHD™ SCP-X power cord and added a new higher output model that provides a 10 ampere, 24 volt DC output capacity. As a compact and independent power supply solution, the new IP67 SCP-X high output power supply has an "L-Code" connection and can use a 5-pin L-Code M12 cable designed to transmit higher currents, especially in confined spaces . This unique connector design also ensures that factory employees will not accidentally connect loads that require Class 2 power to a higher rated power source, which creates potential safety hazards.
Mike Johnson, vice president of product marketing at SolaHD, said that by using L-Code connectors in new power supplies, Emerson is helping to accelerate the adoption of L-Code cabling in automotive manufacturing and factory automation: a tipping point because machine control requires distributed and The influx of higher power applications from remote field power supplies. Some of our competitors have responded, but the limitations of the standard connectors and cables they use keep the output at about 8 amps. Our customers need L-coded cables because they have a higher output capacity and a smaller M12 footprint. They are very suitable for vision systems, relays, conveyor belts, actuators, valves, industrial computers and touch screens and other equipment. "
The IP67 SCP-X high-output power supply enables automakers and their suppliers to gain power, reliability and efficiency to continuously optimize current and future productivity. With Power Boost, it can provide up to 150% of the nominal power (15A) within four seconds, and the 10A output can ensure the capacity required by the load with high inrush current requirements. In addition, it also has a DC-OK relay contact, which can provide diagnostic information for PLC, DCS, IPC or other controllers, and has an LED to indicate operating status. The combination of higher power capacity and better observability encourages continuous improvement in machine deployment and management.
Like the original SolaHD SCP-X level 2 power supply, the IP67 SCP-X high output power supply is an independent device. Due to the self-sealing, corrosion-resistant IP67-rated enclosure, there is no need to protect the enclosure or external panel. The enclosure is also shock-resistant , Anti-electromagnetic interference and anti-pollution ability, can reduce the total cost of ownership by simplifying workshop inspection, maintenance and repair. Opening a higher AC voltage enclosure or hiring a specially trained electrician will not interrupt production operations. Each feature is designed to help users avoid investing resources and time related to troubleshooting and repair.
The SolaHD IP67 SCP-X high output power supply can be directly installed on the load in any direction, which increases installation flexibility and reduces the number of cables between the load and the consuming equipment. The SolaHD IP67 SCP-X high output power supply simplifies upgrades by having the same installation dimensions as competing power supplies with lower output capacity. Quickly change connectors to simplify coupling with distributed I/O devices.
