CAPAROC, the flexible standard

CAPAROC electronic circuit breaker system

CAPAROC is an individual modular system. With the many combination options, you can adapt the system ideally to the conditions of your application. CAPAROC is being extended constantly. Using this system, you are perfectly positioned for the future.

The new CAPAROC PM IOL power module features an IO-Link interface which is often used in machine building and systems manufacturing.
Installation of IO-Link devices is very simple, quickly completed, and does not require complex training. The additional information available from the machines reflects the condition of the machine. With the IO-Link interface, error states and threshold values that have been exceeded are detected at an early stage. Maintenance can thus be planned at an early stage. The integrated error log enables rapid problem identification when troubleshooting in the 12–24 V DC range.

Power module with PROFINET interface for CAPAROC circuit breaker system

The system configuration starts with the power module. Central feed-in and communication are managed here. All additional modules are supplied directly via the rear-side current rail. With automatic module addressing in the system, no further effort is needed. All system information is collected via the power module and forwarded to the provided interface for evaluation. This ensures that you have transparency for the entire 24 V supply grid.

Right now you already have a choice of power modules:

  • With status output and remote reset
  • With IO-Link interface
  • With PROFINET interface

Example configuration of a two-channel circuit breaker module in the CAPAROC system

The two-channel circuit breaker modules in the CAPAROC system are intuitive and easy to configure. They allow you to easily read off the set nominal current directly on the device at any time. Moreover, the active current limitation function ensures the more targeted utilization of the upstream power supply.

The one- and four-channel circuit breaker modules are integrated into the system in a channel-specifically. With fixed and adjustable nominal currents, they can be adjusted ideally to any application – from maximum compactness with an overall width of just 3 mm per channel, right through to four integrated potential distributor terminals with a connection cross-section of up to 4 mm². The CAPAROC system includes everything necessary for reliable protection.

The rear-side current rails are elementary blocks of the CAPAROC system. They ensure the supply of all modules in the system. Modules can be added or removed without further installation work. The potential distributors are the ideal extension alongside every circuit breaker module for positive and 0 V load supply.

CAPAROC EX

Use in the Ex area

Now you can also use CAPAROC in explosion-protected areas. The CAPAROC PM S-R EX power module and the new adjustable, two-channel circuit breaker modules also enables you to reliably protect loads in explosion-protected areas against overload and short-circuit currents.
The Ex e approvals for zone 2 significantly extend the wide range of possible CAPAROC system applications.
