Weidmuller has announced an addition to the Klippon Connect portfolio of products and services for panel building called maxGUARD. With maxGUARD modules, the electronic load monitoring ELM devices combined with distribution terminal blocks can be customized to provide selective load protection in 24 Vdc power distributed systems for industrial automation applications.

With combining load monitoring and potential distribution into one complete solution, users are said to be offered time-savings during installation, increased safety against failure, and DIN-rail space savings while being highly service friendly.

The modules have a 6.1 mm housing and feature push-in connection technology. The complete system has a maximum current capacity of 40 A.

The operating temperature range is -25° to 55°C (without derating). The terminal cross-sections are 16mm² for the feed-in module, 2.5mm² for the electronic load monitoring (ELM), and 1.5mm² at the top and 2.5mm² at the bottom of the potential distribution terminal block.

Modules are cULus listed, Class 2 Certified (1A, 2A and 4A modules), CE rated and carry a wide range of global approvals. maxGuard can be pre-configured using the Weidmuller Configurator, a free software download available on the Weidmuller website.
