Application

New signal boxes are now implemented as electronic signal boxes. Conventional relay signal boxes will remain in use alongside these, but will need to be modernized to ensure safe continued operation. The challenge: Combining existing electromechanical connection technology with new technology – without costly rewiring and reconfiguration, which could lead to errors.

Phoenix Contact offers a broad portfolio of products and concepts for modernizing your existing systems:

• System cabling: Preassembled system cables enable fast, error-free, and uniform wiring – ideal for “overnight” conversions.
• Marshalling patchboards: Compact design for high signal density in confined spaces. The modular structure, which can be configured to the precise number of positions and features color matrix elements, ensures clarity and minimizes wiring errors.
• Additive manufacturing with PROTIQ: For three-dimensional prototypes or small series starting from a batch size of 1, PROTIQ – a Phoenix Contact Company – can supply components made of metal and plastic using 3D printing.
