The Sitop PSU8600 power supply system supports OPC UA. This open interface for horizontal and vertical communication enables the rapid, manufacturer-independent exchange of data between Sitop power supplies and industrial PCs, automation devices and third-party applications even without Profinet. The power supply system can integrate into a network, allowing advanced warning in the event of impending critical states. The modular system can be extended to as many as 20 individually adjustable outputs, such as the tripping current in case of overload, voltages ranging between 5 and 28 V or program-controlled activation and deactivation.
