When it comes to the manufacturing industry, different types of DIN rail power supplies come into play, mostly based on the type of application being used. The rule is therefore very simple: different uses, different standards.
Specifically, for applications requiring high reliability due to challenging installations, such as in the manufacturing sector, renewable energies, wind power, or railway, characteristics like efficiency, reliability, and performance are absolutely priorities.
In particular, for sectors like wind power, petrochemical or nuclear, monitoring subsystems, distributed control, communication, and DCFC are constantly exposed to salts, dust, and difficult maintenance.
How to choose the right high-reliability DIN rail power supply?
In order to answer this question, it is essential to first distinguish the different types of applications and, consequently, the conditions in which these power supplies would operate.
CASE 1: WIND ENERGY POWER SUPPLIES
The wind power sector can be categorized according to the type of energy extracted: from land or sea. The plants are generally installed at high altitudes and, in the presence of sea or oceans, they can be subject to salts, dust, high humidity, and the like.
In such applications, it is necessary to protect the power supply from any damage during maintenance.
CASE 2: DCS CONTROL SYSTEM POWER SUPPLIES
Industrial control systems DCS are typically found in petrochemical, metallurgical, and nuclear plants, the same applies to other high-end manufacturing sectors, where working conditions are characterized by high temperatures, vibrations, and where unexpected line interruptions can cause potential significant losses.
