Weidmüller's new ACT20C gateway provides a greater transparency and preventive monitoring for equipment and processes.

With its transducers, users are now able to obtain extensive information directly at signal conversion level. The ACT20C gateway optimises user control by supplying precise diagnostics and status information on remote automated devices. With the gateway and communication-enabled transducers, it is now possible to obtain comprehensive information at signal conversion level via Ethernet. The data can be used from any location over the Internet. The Ethernet interface transmits important diagnostics that supports the rapid correction of system errors.

The communication-enabled ACT20C-CMT current measuring transducer can be combined with the gateway to measure and monitor AC/DC current. The new current transducer uses the RMS method (True RMS) to capture the real power consumption of a connected load for DC and AC current - even with distorted waveforms. Information about the connected load's operating behaviour is also determined during the process. These applications also aid in the reduction of energy usage and preventable ‘wear and tear' on the hardware because up-to-the-minute information is constantly being generated. These aspects reduce the customer's carbon footprint whilst improving their corporate social responsibilities.

These features ensure that the ACT20 gateway is a crucial piece of industry technology to own.
