The modular device family from Michael Koch GmbH opens up new possibilities for the active management of electrical drive energy.
Ten years of market experience and many person-years of development work stuck in the devices labelled PxtFX, PxtEX and PxtRX. They are characterised by a wide voltage range, independence from the drive electronics manufacturer, and a variety of application possibilities.
The applications build upon that, which to largely store excess or necessary electrical energy independently of the grid. The selection of storage media is also application-dependent, for example, with cookers Specialised aluminium electrolytic capacitors used for short and very frequent cycles, at higher energies and less frequent cycles Double layer capacitor modules and with rare cycles, batteries are used. The connecting part between the drive and the storage is the active energy management device or system. Since autumn 2010, Koch has been active with such devices on the market. The new product family, named Pxt, which can also be pronounced „P times t“ (equal to energy), is available immediately with significantly higher functionality available.
Digital nameplate simplifies the work
Common to all devices is the so-called digital nameplate. When Scan the QR code one device using an app for Android or iOS smartphones or tablets alongside the Technical data of the specific device and its concrete structure also Test and inspection logs and the associated documents such as the Assembly and Operating Instructions displayed. This allows all users of the device to access the individual documents and information of the Pxt family device independently of location and paper. Furthermore, Management options given, with which, for example, a mechanical engineer can assign devices with their respective properties to a machine or system.
