The 24 V DC control voltage has come to globally dominate in systems and machines in automation engineering, in the DC power supplies for encoders, input signals, actuators and electronic components. However the voltage range from 6V DC to 60 V DC is also required for analogue and digital signals in various control schemes. The functionality of an electronic control is largely dependent on the reliability of its corresponding power supply. A stable and safe power and voltage supply guarantees a trouble-free production process in systems and mechanical engineering. CONTA-CLIP offers many different...
