Industrial connections, the power to break new racetracks

As a “bridge” for industrial power, signal and data transmission, industrial connectors are undoubtedly key infrastructure in digital engineering. The innovative layout through industry applications is the game-breaking opportunity provided by Weidmuller at this level. There is no doubt that this year, China’s green energy industry such as energy storage, photovoltaic and other industries have created a huge track opportunity and become a bright color in the new situation.

Mr. Yang Chaocao, director of Weidmuller’s Industrial Connector Division in Asia Pacific, told the author that in the energy storage industry, Weidmuller has responded to the needs of power connection, battery management BMS and battery pack connection with various solutions based on the application characteristics of various new types of energy storage.

“From the photovoltaic DC connector to the AC output connector on the inverter to the battery positive and negative connectors on the energy storage cabinet, to achieve a reliable connection of the entire power circuit; At the same time, as the core of battery management BMS, the connection between the battery sampling connector inside the battery pack and the BMS module and the data connection interface of the output client need to use various industrial connector solutions to help customers achieve various different needs. “Mr. Yang Chaocao said.

In the application of new energy, DC technology as an important technology of energy saving and emission reduction has been paid more and more attention. Direct current generated from the photovoltaic power on the roof of the industrial plant or the power grid to obtain direct current, through the DC distribution network directly transmitted to the factory all kinds of electrical equipment and machines for driving, while the DC distribution network can also be directly connected to the industrial and commercial energy storage system and electric vehicle DC charging pile for energy storage and use. Therefore, Weidmuller also provides corresponding electrical connection solutions for DC technology.

Digital solutions can break the future

From automation products to digital solutions, it can be described as the “main battlefield” of transformation and innovation in the current industrial field. Through the continuous improvement of automation hardware products and digital software technologies at this level, Weidmuller can empower industrial customers to accelerate from disruption to transformation. In the view of Mr. Excellence, Director of Weidmuller’s Automation Products and Solutions Division in Asia Pacific, the key to digital transformation is to start from the current pain points of customers and help clarify the current tactical layer misunderstandings. Weidmuller will provide solutions in three aspects of digitalization: digital infrastructure, digital information extraction, and digital culture construction.

According to reports, the expo Weidmuller through demo display in the realization of digital 4 steps (data acquisition, data processing, data transmission and data visualization and analysis) applied to u-mation solutions, power solutions, industrial analysis and other related solutions and products.

In addition, Weidmuller launched the u-OS platform for the first time, and the subsequent u-control products based on the u-OS platform, the M2000/3000/4000. “As a controller product that achieves the convergence of OT and IT, customers can access the main interface of the controller through a browser to run codesys’ automation software and various IT software. In addition to downloading the corresponding software in the software store, customers can also use the docker container function provided by us to package their own software and install it in the u-control series of controllers. In the future, we will also use the internal data Hub function to enable data interoperability between various applications, which will greatly reduce the configuration time of customer data interaction, “says Excellence.

As an industry vane, the innovative products and industry solutions brought by Weidmuller at the 2023 Shanghai Industry Fair provide a new idea for the manufacturing industry under the new situation – rooted in customer needs, driven by digital transformation in the future!
