Frequently asked questions
Is there a hardware tutorial that explains the functions of the PTCB?
How do you set the nominal current?
1. Start the programming mode by pressing the LED button for > 2 seconds. The LED shows the set nominal current via a yellow flashing rhythm, e.g., 4 flashes for 4 A.
2. Set the required nominal current by pressing the button several times, e.g...

1. Start the programming mode by pressing the LED button for > 2 seconds. The LED shows the set nominal current via a yellow flashing rhythm, e.g., 4 flashes for 4 A.
2. Set the required nominal current by pressing the button several times, e.g., 3 x for 3 A, then this is indicated by 3 x flashing.
3. Press the channel button for > 2 seconds to confirm the new current value.
If there is no confirmation, the channel exits programming mode after 60 seconds.
What signals does the PTCB offer?
There are different versions of the PTCB, with 13-14 potential-free contacts (NO/NO2) or with a combination of reset input and status output (SI-R)
NO - potential free remote contact 13-14
This indicates the status of the PTCB. If there is...

There are different versions of the PTCB, with 13-14 potential-free contacts (NO/NO2) or with a combination of reset input and status output (SI-R)
NO - potential free remote contact 13-14
This indicates the status of the PTCB. If there is a fault shutdown, it issues a message.
closed = there is no fault
open = there is a fault shutdown
With the NO2, the contact is also opened when the channel is switched off manually.
SI - status output
Potential-bound status signal which reflects the inverse status of the PTCB. If there is a fault shutdown, it issues a message.
High (24 V) = there is a fault shutdown
Low (0 V) = there is no error
Maximum current 20 mA
RST - reset input
The channel that was switched off by an error is switched on again via a falling edge.
What is the maximum current for a short circuit?
The maximum current depends on the available current that the power supply unit can supply in the event of a short circuit and the type of short circuit. The current is not limited by the PTCB.
How many PTCBs can be bridged together?
The limitation of the PTCBs that can be bridged together is not due to the PTCBs, but to the bridges. The bridges can carry a maximum current of 32 A and the largest bridge has 50 poles. With a corresponding current, up to 50 PTCBs could therefore be bridged.
With which terminal blocks is the PTCB compatible?
The PTCB is compatible with the entire CLIPLINE complete portfolio, so that a corresponding terminal block can be used depending on the requirements. The corresponding bridges are also part of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block portfolio. A selecti... View more
The PTCB is compatible with the entire CLIPLINE complete portfolio, so that a corresponding terminal block can be used depending on the requirements. The corresponding bridges are also part of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block portfolio. A selection of compatible products (and associated bridges) can be found in the accessories tab on the product page.
