Multi-level installation terminal - Which multilevel installation terminals are there and what functions do they have in the control cabinet? Are multi-level installation terminals the same as feed-through terminals? What's the difference? How is the assembly done? Here you will find answers to many questions. In the eibabo® technology store you can get multi-level installation terminals from all well-known manufacturers such as ABB, Hager, Phoenix, Siemens, WAGO, Weidmüller and Wieland at top conditions and in large quantities. Delivery is worldwide, fast and safe.Installation multi-level terminals are among the most important components within a control cabinet and fulfill several functions. The terminals represent connecting elements between the incoming cables and lines of an installation and the actual control cabinet installation. The assembly is carried out on the DIN rail.What are installation multi-level terminals?Installation multi-level terminals are multi-pole terminal blocks. The term 'terminal block' not only includes multi-level installation terminals, but also, for example, feed-through terminals, fuse terminals and relay terminals. Surely you have already heard or read about single-level clamps and triple-level clamps. These are other common names for feed-through terminals and tier terminals. When it comes to spring-loaded terminals, push-in terminals or screw terminals, the focus is on the type of wire attachment. But these terminals can also be counted among the multi-level installation terminals. The main feature of the installation multi-level terminals is the potential entries arranged one above the other.What is the difference to a feed-through terminal?The differences between feed-through terminals and multi-level terminals are small and mainly lie in the number and arrangement of the potential entries. A simple feed-through terminal usually only has one potential, while tier terminals can have several potentials. This saves space compared to feed-through terminals, since the feed-through terminals are arranged next to each other as individual terminals. A clear assignment of the different cores is guaranteed by the colored conductor entry openings in multi-level terminal blocks. Tier terminals are therefore more complex feed-through terminals and are often equipped with special functions for building installation, for example with N disconnect terminals, equipotential bonding terminals or distribution feed terminals.How important are multi-level installation terminals for control cabinet construction?With multi-level installation terminals, you achieve enormous flexibility in control cabinet construction. Rigid incoming cables and lines are clearly laid out on the terminals. You thus create flexible connection points to connect the actuators, fuses or other devices in the control cabinet with individual wires. This keeps the entire installation flexible, as there are nodes for testing and changing the entire system. A direct connection without installation multi-level terminals would not be clear and would lead to considerable effort in the event of changes.Image: WAGO 2003-7641 Multi-level installation terminalWith the implementation of a well-structured circuit diagram, each link created in this way takes on a comprehensible function. The installation of the system remains clear. Additions, repairs and maintenance in the future are made easier. Changes to the system are always possible by reconnecting individual wires. The rigid supply lines remain untouched.For a better overviewYou can attach labeling fields to some tier terminals. We recommend using this. Label all devices and connections sensibly. Matching labeling fields are available here in the shop.But this structure offers other advantages. During maintenance work, the electrician can carry out his insulation measurements and other control work directly on the tier terminals. This saves time and money when troubleshooting. For example, many DIN rail mounted devices (REG) only have two contact points for connecting the cables. With the use of installation clamps, you can expand this if necessary. An example: You want to protect several lines with one fuse. Unfortunately, you can only connect the wires from one line directly to the fuse. What can you do? In order to link further lines, establish clear jumper connections on the installation multi-level terminals.How can the cables be attached to the installation multi-level clamps?Each manufacturer builds the multi-level installation terminal blocks slightly differently. However, the principle is the same. While single-level terminals connect only one line as simple feed-through terminals, the installation of several incoming and outgoing lines is possible in multi-level terminals / tier terminals. A three-tier terminal block is designed for the connection of the protective conductor, the N line and the L line. The arrangement in tiers saves a lot of space in the control cabinet. Multi-level terminal blocks are used very frequently, especially in the smaller switch cabinets in private households and in smart home installations. TIP:If a terminal block does not have a connection point for the outgoing protective conductor, snapping it onto the DIN rail ensures 100 percent contact with the protective conductor contact foot. The types of attachment for the cables represent a special distinguishing feature. There are screw terminals, spring-loaded terminals and push-in terminals.With the screw terminal, a screw fixes the respective wire. This method is comparatively time-consuming, especially when dealing with a large system with many connections. Fastening with a screw must be done carefully so as not to damage the solid or flexible cable too much.With the spring-loaded terminal, the electrical contact is made with a mechanical metal spring. The spring is in the form of a curved flat contact with a hole. The wire must be put through the hole to connect. This is only possible if the spring is stretched with a pointed tool. The line will bind as soon as the tool is removed and the spring relaxes. The connection is released in the same way.The push-in connection is a variant of the spring-loaded terminal. Here, too, a spring-loaded metal contact presses against the wire. Installation is tool-free. The wire is inserted into the spring shaft of the multi-level terminal block and the contact is locked directly by the spring force. You need a tool to loosen the connection. Using a small screwdriver, bend the spring contact to the side and the wire will come loose. These connections save a lot of time with cables with solid conductors. Wires with flexible strands can also be fixed using this method, but they should be stabilized with a ferrule.The attachment of the cores using insulation displacement terminals is rare and is only used if your cable is particularly thin. With this method, the conductive contact is made by cutting the wire insulation.Special features of the neutral conductor contactIn addition to models with screw attachment and spring clamps, there are multi-level terminals where you can use an N busbar. With these terminals, the neutral conductor contact is designed in such a way that a busbar can be connected with a flick of the wrist. In this case you need an additional terminal for feeding. To ensure that the rail is held securely, use suitable trestles at the beginning and end of the row. Some clamps also offer mounting levers. Please also fix longer rails every 20 centimetres.Are there different tier terminals for the different cable cross-sections?Cables and lines with different cross-sections are used in electrical installations. This affects the tier terminals. Appropriate terminals are available for all common cable cross-sections. The suitability for certain cross-sections is indicated on the terminals. In addition, there is the option of bridging the N lines and the L lines via several tier terminals, sometimes on several levels. Suitable cable bridges are available here in the shop.Why are multi-level installation terminals open on one side?As you may know, the space available in the control cabinet is specified in modular widths (TE). The specification of the pitch units provides information about the capacity of a control cabinet and helps with the purchase decision. Installation multi-level terminals do not correspond to this grid dimension, but are manufactured as narrow as possible. So the narrower the individual terminal is, the more terminals you can install on a certain area of the DIN rail. Good to know:A pitch unit is 18 millimeters according to DIN 43880:1988-12. The installation width of the devices is 17.5 millimeters (deviation plus 0.5 millimeters) and its multiples. Installation multi-level terminals are typically mounted directly next to each other on the mounting rail. There is therefore no risk of touching the contacts on the open sides. This saves material in production and some space. Without a side cover, a terminal is slightly narrower. Only the last terminal in a row is covered.What are N disconnect terminals?Electrical systems must be checked regularly. The insulation measurement (e.g. between neutral conductor and protective conductor) is an essential part of such a test. As a result, possible insulation faults, which can cause fires and the associated damage to persons or property, are detected at an early stage. To do this, the neutral wire of each circuit must be disconnected. The use of neutral conductor disconnect terminals is therefore necessary in this country in public facilities, workplaces in trade and industry and in fire-endangered premises.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Terminal blocks > Multi level installation terminal block you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Cage clampDouble clampFeed blockFeed-through terminal blockFuse plugGround terminalInsta clampInstallation clampMulti-level clampPhase terminal blockSingle clampSpring clampSpring clipSpring terminalTerminal blockThree-wire terminalTier clampTripod clampUniversal clampfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Multi-level installation terminal:ABBHagerPhoenixSiemensWAGOWeidmüllerWieland
Combi i/o device - Combi IO devices are essential components of complex building automation. Find out here how to use the high-quality IO devices and what options there are for your installation. In any case, these devices increase the efficiency of your installation. Learn more about these modules and why it is so important for them to work properly.What is an IO device?An IO device - also known as an input-output module - enables communication between a computer system and a peripheral device. This type of processor communication between devices increases a computer's capabilities. The operating system is enabled to connect to the outside world. Communication and interaction takes place through sending and receiving information. Possible input information are, for example, signals from user inputs or binary inputs. Output signals are sent by the system or converted into actions as manipulated variables by actuators. With the use of a multifunctional input module, the work can be carried out more efficiently and accurately. Typical IO devices include:KNX universal interfacesKNX universal controllerKNX switching actuators with integrated binary inputsKNX button interfaces with outputs for LED controlspecial KNX room controller with a variety of special functions  TIP:An IO device can interface with a large number of bus protocols, for example PC Cards, USB, PCI, VMEbus and FireWire. In this eibabo® category you will find, for example, KNX devices with multiple functions from top manufacturers such as ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben.What are the most important functions of an IO device?An IO device is an essential link in the control chain and closes the gap between your computer system and the external devices. It can perform multiple functions including:Communication between the devices in the systemAn IO device assumes several functions within the scope of device communication. This includes the transmission of status messages, the sending of commands and the transmission of information.communication to the processorFull communication with the processor includes recognizing its own IP address, decoding and accepting commands, and reporting status updates.error managementAn IO device detects different types of problems that can occur between the computer system and a peripheral device. These can be mechanical problems, such as a used printer cartridge or errors that occur during data transfer.Image: ABB IO actuator 8-fold IO/S8.6.1.1timingIn order to be able to correctly manage the flow of information between the system and the external device as part of time management, the IO device accesses the internal resources of a computer.data bufferingOne of the most important functions of an IO device is managing the transmission speed between memory, processor and other external devices.How and where can IO devices be mounted?There are many options for mounting IO devices and they depend on your existing installation. Choose from the following options:Panel mounting - the unit is bolted to a chassis or attached to a panelRack mounting - the device fits into a standard housing, such as a 19-inch rack or similarInstallation on DIN rails - the device is attached to one of the common DIN rails or G-railsfree installation - the device has a stable housing and is set up in a freely selectable placePrinted circuit board assembly - the device plugs directly into computers or is attached to the case What advantages do IO devices offer?Depending on the IO device involved, each can play a significant role within an effective operating system. In a programmable logic controller (PLC) and other operating systems, these devices offer the following advantages:a compact design saves space in almost any assembly environmentthe installation can be done remotelyHardware and associated costs can be savedthe wiring and cable setup is simple and clear What are the properties of the inputs and outputs on the IO devices?As a rule, IO devices offer digital channels, analog channels or a combination of both variants. The digital inputs and outputs handle low-level on-off signals. Analog inputs recognize signals such as current, voltage or frequency. Devices with combined channels often process the signals using analog-to-digital converters.The input channels of a device are differentiated as single-ended (SE) or differential (DI). Single-ended inputs consist of two contacts, one of which carries a voltage. The other is connected to ground. Such installation is simpler and cheaper than differential signaling. However, the inductance of the signal line and the difference in ground voltage between the transmitter and receiver will cause noise interference. Differential communication uses two mutual signals on two paired contacts. The difference between the two signals represents the meaningful signal value. Common-mode rejection prevents noise interference. Differential inputs respond to the voltage difference between the two contacts. These are therefore suitable for low-voltage, long-distance and high-resolution applications. The type of input channels your device has can usually be found in the product description. For example, if you have a 16SE-8DI device, it offers 16 single-ended and 8 differential inputs.isolationCertain areas of the electrical system can be isolated from others. This avoids unwanted current flow or signal flow between the areas.For isolation, please distinguish between channel-to-channel isolation, isolated analog input, isolated analog output, isolated digital input, and isolated digital output.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > I/O device for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Blind controlCentralAccessControl deviceControl elementControl panelControl unitDrive elementDriver moduleEngine control unitHeating actuatorHome serverInput moduleInterfaceJunction boxLight actuatorMixing moduleMulti-controllerOutdoor areaRadio systemSecurity adapterShutter actuatorSmartphoneSun protection actuatorSwitching actuatorSwitching outputUniversal interfaceWireless solutionWireless switching outputfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Combi i/o device:ABBBusch JaegerGiraHagerLingg & JankeMetzSiedleSomfyWaremaWindowMaster
Blind actuator - How can I automate my shutters and blinds? Can the time of day, the weather and the position of the sun be taken into account? We provide recommendations and information on the purchase of KNX blind actuators and show you what options the technology offers you in everyday life.If you want to build a new house or renovate an existing building, many questions arise. The technical equipment in particular must be well thought out, because a later change is then only possible with a lot of effort. If you already include the advantages of intelligent building automation in your planning, then the opening, closing and shading of the windows will also play an important role.Useful application examples for controlling blinds or roller shutters:the up and down of roller shutters and blinds according to time specificationsturning the slats of blinds based on the brightness in the roomthe automatic opening of roller shutters or blinds when windows are openedthe simultaneous operation of several shading systemsthe flexible control or regulation of the roller shutters when you are absent via a smartphone appthe automatic drive to the safety position in the event of a storm alarm and back after the all-clearthe blocking of operation for certain peopleautomatic shading according to geographic location and position of the sun (astro control) The use of modern KNX blind actuators supports you in realizing all these projects. They ensure more security, greater comfort and increase the value of your property.  What distinguishes a KNX blind actuator from a KNX switching actuator?All motorized equipment such as blinds or roller shutters can be automated using KNX blind actuators. Standard 230V blind actuators therefore have 2 channels per switching output. A channel to drive up and a channel to drive down. The channels are mutually locked to prevent damage to the drive. So only one phase can be switched through to the drive at a time, never both at the same time. TIP:Never use KNX switching actuators to control blinds and shutters without a downstream isolating relay. With classic KNX switching actuators, the channels are not mutually locked. It would therefore be possible to connect more than one phase to the drive. This can quickly lead to damage to the technology. There are models which, depending on the configuration, can be used both as a switching actuator and as a shutter actuator. Please read the specification of the respective actuator.What should be considered during installation?Motorized 3-point drives must not be connected in parallel. Group formations may only be carried out using isolating relays or group control devices if the manufacturer does not provide for any isolating function. For example, for 4 windows, each with a drive, you should use a KNX blind actuator with 4 channels. There is also the option of operating several drives via one channel using conventional isolating relays. The shutter actuator channel then controls the isolating relay and the drives are connected to the isolating relay. In the meantime, however, the prices for the KNX actuators have fallen massively, so that there is hardly any need to reduce costs by using isolating relays. TIP:When selecting your components, always prefer one blind actuator channel per blind motor. For example, if you would like to integrate 6, 8 or 12 blinds into your system, you will find the appropriate actuator here in the shop.Are blind actuators with 230V AC better than models with 24V DC?This question is not about better or worse. Rather, the type of voltage of the drives should always be considered. The drives of blinds or roller shutters are often designed as 230V AC (alternating voltage) or 24V DC (direct current). That's why you have to buy the matching blind actuator or roller shutter actuator. A 24V DC blind actuator or roller shutter actuator has a plus and a minus connection. A suitable KNX actuator generates the direction of travel (up/down) by changing the poles (pole reversal).Do shutter actuators require a separate power supply?The 24V DC mains supply is not provided by the actuator and must also be installed externally depending on the power requirement for simultaneity (central commands). In this case, very large power supply units can become necessary, which, in addition to high costs, also require a large amount of space. If you can, order 230V AC drives and matching 230V KNX blind actuators from the supplier. These also require their own power supply, but no additional power supply units.That is the reasonSo-called monostable relays are installed in the shutter actuators, which are open and not active when idle. However, the relays continuously require energy as long as they are closed (e.g. for the duration of a blind movement). The bus voltage alone cannot cover this requirement.In contrast, there are bistable relays in classic switching actuators. These only require some energy in the brief moment of switching from one position to another. This can be implemented via the bus and an additional power supply is usually not necessary.What do I need an SMI KNX blind actuator for?SMI stands for 'Standard Motor Interface' and is an intelligent, uniform and manufacturer-independent interface in building automation. This is used to connect various operating resources, such as window drives, roller shutter drives or blind drives to a higher-level building management system. There are SMI KNX blind actuators for drives with an SMI interface. These intelligent drives are therefore able to exchange data telegrams across manufacturers.Which actuators are recommended for controlling roller shutters and blinds?eibabo® carries KNX blind actuators, KNX roller shutter actuators and KNX SMI actuators from ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens, Somfy, Theben, Warema and many other manufacturers.Over 25 years of experienceAll actuators that you get here in the shop are of high quality and reliable. We regularly use these actuators in our projects all over the world.Benefit from our low prices and take advantage of safe, fast and worldwide shipping.1-byte communication object - what is that?In any case, make sure that your blind actuator or roller shutter actuator has a 1-byte communication object for the runtime and slat, in order to be able to enable automatic or targeted control if required.There are no slats in roller shutters, which is why roller shutter actuators do not have the slat communication object, only Up/Down/Stop. Roller shutter actuators often have a 1-bit object for a defined positioning movement that can be set via the ETS software.1 byte means that values between 0-255 can be approached, which correspond to 0-100% related to the travel time. The parameters often allow the running time to be set according to the driving time. The travel time of the blind or roller shutter is entered once in the actuator using the ETS software, namely for a complete opening or closing for each channel of the actuator. There are also actuators for evaluating limit switches, which the motorized drive provides.Image: KNX blind actuator ? Eibmarkt JA.6.230The extensive application of the KNX blind actuator / roller shutter actuator JA.6.230 from Eibmarkt® shown here enables a wide range of parameterization via the communication object, including scenes for runtime and slats, blocking functions, automatic functions, security functions and alarm functions, movement limitations, position feedback and much more.Can a layperson use the ETS software to program the KNX devices?Don't be put off by the term 'programming'. The ETS software is only used to assign and parameterize certain actions. Programming skills or learning a programming language are not required. If you have some imagination to understand logical connections, then you are quite capable of creating a project.our recommendationFor more complex projects, a certain amount of experience is of course helpful. Have the basic project created by a qualified system integrator. In this way, you will later be able to easily change important parameters yourself if circumstances require it.Roughly explained: Imagine the folder system on your Windows PC or iOS computer. Here you create your own structure, save files in it and create links to other folders. This is similar with the ETS software. The 'folders' can be floors or rooms and the 'files' in them are the sensors or actuators of the respective room or electrical distribution cabinet, which you then link to one another.What types of installation are there for KNX blind actuators?KNX blind actuators are available for every type of installation at eibabo®. For example, for installation in the electrical distribution, then these carry the suffix 'REG' for series installation devices or as a flush-mounted version 'UP' for installation in a mounting box or junction box or as a built-in version 'EB' for integration in ducts or similar. However, additional protection must also be taken into account for built-in versions depending on the installation.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Shutting actuator for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Azimuth controlBinary inputBlind functionBuilding controlBuilding system technologyCable entryCombination actuatorControl moduleControl unitsDIN railDIN railsDrive controlEngine control unitEngine controllerHome controlInput moduleLight domeNormally open outputOutdoor areaOutput moduleRadio receiverSeries installationShutter controlShutter outputShutter switchSplash proofSun protectionVentilation flapfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Blind actuator:ABBBerkerBusch JaegerEatonEIBMARKTElsoEltakoESYLUXFinderGiraHagerJungLingg & JankeMDTMertenPehaSchneider ElectricSiemensSomfyThebenWaremaWieland
D-type fuse insert - D fuses are based on the DIAZED system. The name was derived from diametrically graded two-piece Edison fusible plugs. From about 1909, this invention replaced the one-piece fusible plug that had been used until then. Did you know that Siemens-Schuckertwerke developed this system? Since the company had the name DIAZED protected, D-Fusion or D-System was introduced as a neutral standard designation. Almost 60 years later, the further development, the D0 system, also NEOZED, i.e. new type of DIAZED security, was introduced. Fuses of this type belong to the fuse category. The circuit is interrupted by melting a fusible conductor, thus ensuring overcurrent protection. Today, we no longer want to and should not renounce the pleasant advantages of electricity. With the appropriate range of extremely reliable fuses, eibabo would like to enable you to safely integrate electricity in your living and working areas.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Circuit breakers and fuses > D-system fuse link you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Backup componentCartridgeCeramic fuseCeramic fuse linkD fuseD fuse linkD-system fuse linkDevice protection fuseDiazed fuseDiazed fuse linkDZ backupFull area backupFuseFuse cartridgeFuse elementFuse insertFusible linkG fuseG fuse linkLine protection fuseNeozed elementSecurity systemSemiconductor protection fuseSpare PartsSTOPfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue D-type fuse insert:ABNGrohHagerMersenMüllerPhoenixPROTEC.classSiemens
Single position switches - Do you want to use single-position switches to control movements? Then use single position switches or limit switches. But what types of single-position switches are there and where are they best used? Find out here. Their functional principle is the same as with conventional switches, except that the switching process is automated or determined by external influences. Such an installation will help you avoid manual shifting where it is particularly difficult and/or dangerous.Image: Schneider Electric XCKM115H29 position switchWhat are single position switches?You won't use single-position switches that often in your home. Their areas of application are more in the industrial sector. There they ensure that a hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical or mechanical signal is triggered when a moving object has reached a specific position within a sequence control. This means, for example, that the position switch is activated or deactivated when the end of a specific production section has been reached and the next step in the process is to be started. Single position switches are also called limit switches, position switches or limit switches.What types of single position switches are there?Since the requirements in the industrial sector often depend on the respective process, the individual position switches can also be very different. A suitable solution is available for almost every application. In the following we will go into more detail about the functional principles and properties of the individual variants.Mechanical single position switchesSingle position mechanical switches can be found in both production and household settings. These switches often take the form of a button, roller, float, or lever. The classic example of the use of a mechanical single-position switch is the elevator. Only when the elevator car has reached a certain position can the door be opened. But these devices are also used in living areas in the form of microswitches. These can be found on front doors, for example, so that the lighting is switched on automatically when they are opened.Single position switch with push button or wheel switchThese versions of the single position switches consist of a housing with electrical contacts that can either open or close. These are connected to a roller with a push button or a rod. The functional principle here is also a movement mechanism. For example, if the wheel collides with another object, it is pushed down by a rod. This opens or closes the contacts in the housing and triggers a follow-up action.AssemblyWhen installing such a single-position switch, particular attention must be paid to accuracy. Otherwise, the movement of an object may not actuate the roller or push button properly, or, conversely, apply too much pressure.This may then lead to faulty switching or damage to the mechanism.micro switchSingle position switches as micro switches are used in electronics as well as in household appliances and are very small. Thus, these devices have special properties. Due to the compact dimensions, the stroke of the working part is small. As a result, installation often requires fine tuning or the use of an intermediate link. This makes it possible to increase the stroke of the working part to the extent required to ensure reliable switching.Non-contact single position switchesThis type of single position switch is widely used in industrial production. The market offers numerous variants as well as different functional principles and designs. The most important are:reed switchThis type of limit switch reacts to a magnetic field. These devices consist of several pairs of ferromagnetic contacts. The contacts inside the reed switch close or open when a magnet approaches. Since no mechanical movements trigger the contact process, the service life of the switch increases significantly. A magnet must be present as a trigger during installation, as these devices do not react to other materials. The field of application of reed switches is very diverse. These often work as a microswitch variant, for example as an alarm switch on doors and gates. When the door is closed, the magnetic field acts on the reed switch and the circuit also remains closed. When the door is opened, the magnet moves away from the reed switch. The contact opens and the alarm is triggered.Inductive switchesInductive switches are suitable alternatives to mechanical types of position switches and work without direct contact. The devices work by means of an inductor, which reacts to metal. Compared to the reed switch, these switches do not require a magnet. Inductive models are used in security systems because they respond to both the weight of a metal and its movement. The advantage of inductive switches is their tolerance to environmental pollution. As a result, inductive switches are mainly used in technological processes of industrial production. The size can vary greatly depending on the place of use and function.Switches with optical sensorsSwitches with optical sensors are also non-contact single-position switches. Such devices are often used in areas where special accuracy is required. Optical position switches work according to several principles.Reflective sensors send and receive light, which is reflected by an object located in the sensor area. Receiver and transmitter are in the same housing. The captured light energy causes a specific action at the output of the switch. The distance from the object to the sensor depends on its dimensions, texture, color and so on. If the light beam is crossed by another object and thus changes the captured light energy, a control signal is emitted. The range of such a position switch depends on the environment and its transparency.With passage sensors, the receiver and light source are separate and face each other. An object entering the area of the light beam interrupts the light and thereby changes the light energy. Then a signal is triggered.Capacitive position switchesThe principle of operation of capacitive position switches is as follows: The active surface of the switch consists of two metal electrodes. These can be thought of as capacitor plates. If an AC voltage is applied to it, current flows. The strength of the current flow depends on the medium located between the plates, the distance between the plates and the plate size. TIPCapacitive switches detect conductive and non-conductive materials in liquid, powder, or solid states. When an object appears near the active surface, the strength of the current flow changes. The position switch reacts to this and triggers an action.Are there also wireless single-position switches?Wireless instead of cable ? the wireless position switch offers you additional flexibility when designing machines and systems. You can mount these switches on fixed and moving components without a great deal of assembly work, without having to lay cables or ensure that the cables are laid without any problems. Depending on the manufacturer, the devices offer different transmission protocols or the option of integration into different wireless networks. The differences lie in the range and transmission security, among other things. In addition, there are models with or without feedback (monodirectional or bidirectional).With the single position switches from the eibabo® online shop, you can automate your production processes and thereby improve your efficiency. Since these switches are intended for industrial use, they are very robust, protected from dust and water and are particularly reliable. Manufacturers of high-quality single-position switches are ABB, Eaton, Honeywell, Omron, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Stahl, Steute and others.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Sensors > End switch you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Auxiliary blockAuxiliary switchAuxiliary switch moduleBasic switchComplete deviceCross switchmetalMagnetic force lockingMagnetic switchMetal bodymetalMisalignment switchObject detectionPerimeter SwitchPrecision switchProcess protectionRod leverRoller lever buttonRoller position switchRoller tappetRow position switchSafety interlockSafety position switchSafety switchSecurity sensorSecurity technologySingle position switchSpring lockingStandard twist gripSwitching point settingfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Single position switches:ABBBaumerBernsteinEatonElobauEuchnerHoneywellKiepeKisslingKlaschkaOmronPilzRockwellSchmersalSchneider ElectricSickSiemensSteute
Socket - A socket is much more than an inconspicuous power supply on the wall. Find out here which sockets are available and why you can never have enough of them. In addition to buttons and switches, sockets are among the most important products of all manufacturers of switch programs. A socket is installed either permanently on a wall (surface-mounted socket) or recessed (flush-mounted socket). Sockets can also be part of a mobile line coupling, such as table or multiple sockets. There are also sockets on extensions that are intended for mobile use. A socket is mostly used for the power supply. There are also sockets for telephone / telecommunications and for the data transmission sockets. Devices are usually supplied with single-phase alternating current (in Europe 230 volts) or three-phase alternating current (three-phase current with 400 volts) via classic sockets. There are also standardized sockets for 12V direct current. There are separate socket systems for the supply of higher voltages and currents.Basic information about sockets - in a nutshellA distinction is made between the flush-mounting and surface-mounting types. With the flush-mounted variant, sockets are mounted in switch boxes, which in turn are embedded in the wall. In the 'surface-mounted' variant, sockets are attached to existing walls, usually with dowels and screws.Double sockets are usually nothing more than two single sockets. They obtain the energy from the same supply line. Flush-mounted variants can be optically connected to one another via the frames of the switch range. With surface-mounted devices, both sockets are supplied in one housing.A socket insert is a device for installation in the switch box. It is either attached using claws (clamp connection) or by screwing the base plate of the insert to the screw holes of the switch box. The insert must be supplemented by the frame of the switch range.High-quality moisture-proof sockets usually have a self-closing cover and a rubber seal around the base. They are used in bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms.Outdoor sockets must protect the current-carrying cables from rain and snow. Their housings are often particularly stable in order to prevent damage from mechanical influences.The degree of protection is a determining variable for the place of use. The best known is the two-digit IP protection class (IP = International Protection / Ingress Protection). The first digit stands for protection against contact and foreign bodies, the second digit for protection against water. The higher both digits, the safer. Planning of sockets - there is no such thing as too muchIf I were to build a house again, I would do many things differently.' You hear it very often like this or something similar when you talk to builders. Not infrequently, the planning and implementation of the electrical installation is one of the things that could be better. It is often the insufficient number of sockets that makes everyday life unnecessarily cumbersome. For example, if there is no socket in a dark corner of the room, you must lay an extension cord for the lamp. You probably won't connect very many electronic devices in a bathroom. A living room is usually equipped with many devices and is occasionally rearranged. Many sockets offer flexibility here. TIP:Sockets are very cheap to buy compared to the whole building. Do not plan too tightly, but generously. But positioning also plays an important role. Plan ahead with the layout of your home, the furnishings, and the purpose of the room. Think about the different uses throughout the year. For example, the following are often overlooked:Sockets in the window reveal to supply the Christmas lightsSockets at ceiling height for extractor hoods, infrared heaters and the likeSockets in the attic (for later expansion)the right sockets in hobby rooms, if necessary for devices that require three-phase currentOutside sockets on the balcony or terraceOutdoor sockets near a cistern or water barrel to feed a pumpOutside sockets in the carport or near storage areas for wood and the likeOutside sockets on the property line / driveway The Schuko sockets in the eibabo® online shopThere are many types of sockets. The so-called Schuko socket is the standard in Europe. The abbreviation SchuKo stands for 'protective contact' and is a designation for the German-speaking area. Internationally, these devices are referred to as type F sockets. Cables with three cores are connected to sockets of this design, one of which serves as a protective contact. This derives leakage currents. The matching plugs (e.g. on electrical devices) are also constructed according to this principle. In this catalogue, we present you with high-quality sockets from over 30 manufacturers, including Gira, Jung, Merten, Hager, Berker, Legrand BTicino, Busch-Jaeger and Siemens.How much load can a single socket withstand?A classic 230 volt household circuit is usually protected with 16 ampere fuses. This results in a maximum load capacity of the circuit of 3680 watts (16 amps x 230 volts). This means that you could theoretically draw 3,600 watts of power from a standard household socket. NoticeWhen it comes to electrical installation, it is advisable never to push individual devices to their capacity limits. In practice, about 2500 watts should not be exceeded at a socket. Based on Central European standards, 200 watts to 300 watts per individual socket is assumed in everyday use. With double sockets it is up to 500 watts. You should take this guideline into account when planning the maximum number of outlets per circuit for your installation.Does eibabo® also offer sockets of other standards?eibabo® is an international online mail order company and offers sockets that are common outside of Europe. The best-known form is the NEMA standard, which is not used in Europe (with a few exceptions). NEMA stands for National Electrical Manufacturers Association and describes a whole range of different sockets and power plugs. These are commonplace in America, such as the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Type B (NEMA-5-15) single-phase AC power is most commonly used in the United States. The regular operating voltage is 120 V, the mains frequency is 60 Hz. NEMA-6 series connectors are intended for heavy loads such as electric ovens. The NEMA system is also in use in parts of Asia, including Japan and Thailand, China and the Philippines. In addition, at eibabo® you will find sockets according to British Standard, Swiss Standard or Australian Standard.How do I integrate a standard Schuko socket into the smart home?An existing socket can be easily expanded in terms of functionality using a WLAN socket. As a rule, these are adapter plugs that you plug into the existing socket. These represent a link between the end device and the socket. An associated application (software) enables the connection to the home network. But it doesn't have to be WiFi. Other models use Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth as radio technology. If your electrical installation is just being planned, we recommend reserving a few sockets for your smart home. Then you have the option of using the corresponding flush-mounted sockets. These look visually appealing like classic sockets. You no longer need an additional adapter plug.Already knew?At the beginning of the electricity age, sockets and light switches were considered status symbols. Those who were self-respecting presented the electrical installation of the house 'surface-mounted' and clearly visible to everyone.The advantages of such sockets are, on the one hand, that the devices connected to the sockets can be disconnected from the power supply quickly and easily via the smart home system. In this way, the devices do not run on standby and save electricity. On the other hand, you can operate the sockets when you are not at home. If such a device is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa, you can use it to control it.What is the difference to a socket with increased contact protection?At first glance, a socket with increased contact protection can hardly be distinguished from a classic socket. Some manufacturers mark such a model with a small symbol on the case.Image: Gira 045327 Schuko socket outlet with child protectionSockets with increased contact protection have an additional internal safety device that can vary depending on the manufacturer. In some models, this consists of rotary vanes. These open when both pins of a connector exert pressure on them at the same time. With other systems, the central insert can be rotated. So no object can be inserted into the holes of the socket. The installation of such sockets is recommended, for example, where children may have access to them. In other wordsThe designation 'Schuko' for protective contact has nothing to do with protection against accidental contact. Protection against accidental contact must also be provided. An alternative to the socket with increased protection against accidental contact can be separate socket protection. These plug into a standard socket and often work with a twist or slide motion as well. It is very safe with socket locks or lockable flaps.Why should I lock an outlet?Sockets are everywhere. These cannot always be monitored. In times of constantly rising energy costs, one often hears about electricity being stolen unnoticed via a hidden socket. This is made particularly easy for thieves if the socket is publicly accessible. Even if animals, children or other vulnerable people are constantly in the immediate vicinity of the socket, we recommend a lock. Lockable sockets or socket locks are available in the eibabo® shop at reasonable prices. Use our intelligent search.Are there sockets for other areas of application?In addition to classic sockets for everyday use, there are sockets in special shapes. You may need sockets in a place where neither a flush-mounted socket nor a surface-mounted socket is possible. A classic example is the junction box. Here you need a socket with mounting options on the DIN rail. Such models are often adapted in width to the pitch units in the junction box. Another special form are the so-called CEE sockets. These are available in the strengths 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A and are equipped with three to seven pins. Different colors represent the appropriate nominal voltage. The eibabo® shop offers CEE sockets and sockets for the junction box in separate catalogues.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Socket outlet you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Bike socketBrightness sensorConcealed insertsData socket insertFine protectionFlange socketGround pinHinged cover socketHospitalHousehold wall boxInstallation socketInstallation switchMachine socketOvervoltage protectionPin contactProtective contact wall boxRecording moduleRoom temperature controllerSchuko socketSchuko wall boxScrew fixingSocket connectorSocket coverSpare partSpecial deviceSurface-mounted housingTouch protectionWaterprooffrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Socket:ABLABNBachmannBEGA GantenbrinkBerkerBusch JaegerE+P ElektrikEatonElsnerElsoEltakoEVNGiraHagerHamaHeraHHGJungKleinhuisLegrand BticinoLegrand SEKOLützeMennekesMertenMurrelektronikOBOPehaPhoenixPollmannSchneider ElectricSiemensStahlStriebel & JohnTehalitWalther
