| SOLUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION Complex power supply systems with many components require reliable load protection. Switch mode power supplies are the core of these systems since they electronically monitor output voltage and output current. If there is a short circuit or an overload, protective devices downstream (for example circuit breakers) react slower than the power supply and do not ensure selectivity. This can cause critical situations like voltage drops or even cable fires. Our compact MICO modules help eliminate these problems: MICO is an essential component for...

04 | 05 | MICO – Solutions for intelligent power distribution CASCADING START MICO eliminates start-up peaks with a time-delayed (cascading) start of individual current paths. Advantage: Now you can use power supplies with lower output current. I nom (A ) competitor MICO 100 % 70 % channel 1 channel 2 channel 3 channel 4 Target-oriented protection is a big challenge for modern power supply systems. MICO is an intelligent power distribution system that meets this challenge! Errors are found quickly while availability remains high. MICO Monitors Currents: You can select a maximum, individual...

06 | 07 | MICO+ – appealing features and even more options Mico saves energy: When loads are switched on, they need energy. Often current is already flowing, even though no productive activity is carried out. For example during pause times: Energy is consumed as stand-by power, pumps are running, displays lighten, loads are heating ... With MICO+ you can switch off all 4 output channels from a control input during idle times. This way, only those loads that actually require energy are supplied. This saves energy, results in fewer losses, increases lifetime and productivity. If the part of...

YOUR BENEFITS 90 % warning notice – now available as digital signal: MICO's visual 90 % warning notice is a perfect tool for setting up machines and systems. If channels are near the limit, the LED starts blinking. Often the total current needed increases during operation. This happens for example, because valves and motors wear out. Therefore, the MICO+ 90 % warning notice is additionally available as signal. The signal is transferred to the control, the control sets off the alarm – and counter-measures can be immediately taken. ave energy during idle times S eact early to creeping...

| MICO CLASSIC 4.4.10 Actuator Sensor – FOR ANY APPLICATION MICO CLASSIC 4.4.10 Actuator-Sensor features two channels to protect sensors (current range 1 to 4 A) and two channels to protect actuators (4 to 10 A). It covers the complete current range from 1 - 10 A in one compact device! PERFECT FIT MICO CLASSIC is available in a two channel and four channel version: The modules can be installed in any combination to ensure a cost-effective and spacesaving system design. They are linked with a bridge set. This minimizes wiring efforts. 1…10 A channels, width 36 mm 2 channels, width 70 mm 4...

10 | 11 | MICO BASIC – INTELLIGENT SWITCH OFF As early as necessary, as late as possible – MICO BASIC features intelligent switch off characteristics! The modules are suitable for any application that requires protection of a great number of sensors and actuators with similar demands. The current ranges for the individual circuits are fixed. The compact modules secure either four or eight channels with 2, 4, or 6 A. LEDs show the operating conditions of the individual channels and, when blinking, indicate that a maximum load of 90 % is reached. If there is an overload or short circuit, MICO...

| MICO FUSE – COST-EFFECTIVE MONITORING WITH GLAS TUBE FUSES Protecting sensors and actuators is very important. However, using individual safety terminals requires time-consuming efforts. Now MICO FUSE makes this protection more convenient! The compact module features eight sockets for glass tube fuses that can be accessed from the front. It protects eight channels. MICO FUSE 24 LED has additional LEDs that indicate the operating condition of each channel in red and green. A group alarm contact sends the current status to the control. Sockets for 8 – accessible from the front glass tube...
