The application is based on PLCnext Technology from Phoenix Contact and can be installed and configured without requiring engineering expertise. The IIoT framework transmits data from the modules via standardized interfaces such as REST API, OPC UA, and MQTT. This allows information from the 24 V DC supply to be easily integrated into SCADA systems, cloud applications, or custom New T1 lightning current arrester for photovoltaic systems with 1,500 V DC The industry is increasingly demanding higher system voltages and maximum system availability. The new lightning current arrester works reliably in this demanding environment. As the first pluggable T1 1,500 V DC arrester in the Phoenix Contact portfolio, the device impresses with its highly robust and compact design for the DIN rail. The protection modules make testing and maintenance work easier. When performing insulation measurements, the plugs are simply unplugged to avoid inaccurate readings. At the same time, the installation remains completely intact. The device meets the requirements of IEC 61643, including all test classes relevant for PV applications. The The Caparoc IIoT framework combines device protection and digital transparency With the Caparoc IIoT framework, Phoenix Contact enhances the communication capabilities of the circuit breaker system of the same name by providing end-to-end OT and IT connectivity. The operating data and diagnostic data from the Caparoc modules is made available directly to higher-level systems via standardised interfaces. Operators gain maximum transparency and benefit from higher system availability. IoT platforms. Users remain fully informed about the status of their system at all times. In addition to the status of individual channels, parameters such as current values, configured nominal currents, warning messages, and diagnostic data can be monitored centrally. This enables the early detection of critical operating states and helps prevent unplanned system downtime. The Caparoc IIoT framework serves as an easy-to-use OT and IT gateway between the field level and information systems. Its open data provision creates the foundation for condition monitoring, remote monitoring, and data-driven maintenance With the VAL-SPP-T1-1500DC-PV-2+V-UT-R lightning current arrester, Phoenix Contact has added a type 1 lightning current arrester for photovoltaic systems with 1,500 V DC to its Safe Protection Plus product family. integrated remote indication contact enables reliable monitoring and integration into higher-level systems – an essential factor for operators who need to manage large PV parks efficiently. The modular design provides clear structures as well as safe air clearances and creepage distances. Typical areas of application include large PV parks and commercial systems. High pulse resistance and optimised handling make the lightning current arrester a future-proof solution for the DC side of modern photovoltaic systems. strategies. This allows operators to use their systems more efficiently and sustainably increase availability.
