From motor starters to machine managers

Intelligent switching, protection, monitoring, and measurement

Electric motors are used in a variety of industrial applications for controlling movements. Motors are often started and reversed using classic, mechanical protective circuits. However, these require a great deal of space as well as a lot of wiring effort, and have a limited service life. Complex sensor technology is often required to collect important motor and process data. Phoenix Contact offers innovative and intelligent products for your application.

Machine manager
Electronic motor and machine management combines precise energy measurement with the display and monitoring of important parameters of motors, machines, and other three-phase consumers.
Machine manager
Motor manager
With the motor manager, you can detect all the critical load states throughout the system and benefit from the advantages of modern active power monitoring.
Motor manager

Example 1
Compact and practically wear-free motor starters can switch loads over a much longer service life than electromechanical versions. Moreover, they can be integrated into safety concepts and communication networks. They switch motors and other loads reliably and safely.
Example 2
This advanced technology also enables the acquisition of performance data. Here, the ability to detect over- and underload states enables preventive maintenance and the avoidance of mechanical damage to the loads.
Example 3
The machine manager also reliably monitors powerful loads and transmits key parameters to higher-level networks.
