The waterway signaling systems developed specifically for maritime applications are ideal for use in the harsh outdoor conditions on locks, on bridges, and in harbors. The dimmable signal generators feature a high light and color intensity in accordance with the IALA and CIE standard. With the 200S variants, you can also benefit from safe diagnostics in accordance with IEC 61508. All signal generators can be integrated into automation solutions via a communication protocol.

The LED signal lights for inland navigation are designed for use on light signal systems and lock systems. The use of autonomous monitoring functions guarantees high availability of the signaling equipment.
The particular advantage of the signal light is the integrated fieldbus communication. For example, to control the light intensity of the LEDs or to define the behavior in the event of a connection abort, the light can be accessed via a modular controller. The light can be connected to the control room for the lock via a PROFINET network, where users can then access a wide range of diagnostic and status information.
Only components that conform to the industry standard are used for the monitoring functions of the signal lights. With the 200S variants, you can also benefit from safe diagnostics in accordance with IEC 61508.
For large marine locks, the availability of the signaling systems is a high priority. The signal lights for maritime navigation take this customer requirement into consideration through the consistent implementation of redundancy, both for the power supply and for the communication bus.
The particularly robust saltwater-resistant housing and the heavy-duty connection technology are designed for use in challenging environments.
The industrial communication bus can be used to read all alarm and status messages with a time stamp and send them to control systems and databases. Industrial communication standards are available for this, which allow integral automation solutions to be set up easily.
Niederfinow ship lift
The Niederfinow ship lift on the Oder-Havel Canal was first built to replace a lock chain. It overcomes a lifting height of 36 m. For the safety of personnel and ships, the new construction of the lift system was equipped with an LED-based signal system from Phoenix Contact.
The control and automation solution complies with the EU-wide Machinery Directive, ensures high energy efficiency, and makes it possible to use the latest maintenance and repair concepts.
Lock system in Kiel-Holtenau, Germany
The roughly 100-kilometer-long Kiel Canal is one of the busiest man-made shipping routes in the world. The lock in Kiel-Holtenau bridges the difference in altitude between the two seas.
As part a of an upgrade project, the lock system was equipped with a signal system from Phoenix Contact that simplifies maintenance and saves energy.
