The need for flexible, modular systems is shaping machine design and system engineering. Decentralization of the system components has proven to be an important factor for success. It speeds up system planning, simplifies maintenance and enables easy expansion of the system. In addition, control enclosures can be replaced by smaller versions or even eliminated.

With FIEPOS, PULS presents a new type of power supply for use directly in the field, developed precisely for this environment: a decentralized, all-in-one power supply that is easy to install and flexible enough to meet the diverse requirements of modular factory automation applications. Models available in 300W or 500W for single phase or 3-phase systems, while IP65/67 provide reliable protection against water and dust. IO-Link provides remote operation and diagnostics, such as service life and warnings in case of an overload. The diagnosis and configuration of the output voltage and current-limited outputs can be done directly via the LED interface and push buttons on the front panel.

Potential applications are nearly limitless, but modular applications in conveyor systems, storage technology, robotics, control technology, regulation technology and material handling would all benefit from this technology.
