Power Distribution Module - Phoenix Contact

http://www.phoenixcontact.com/professional

Two methods of distributing power from a single 24 volt power supply are timed side-by-side. On one side a power distribution module is used and on the other; bridged terminal blocks. In doing so, the installation advantages of using a compact power distribution module from Phoenix Contact can clearly be seen.

That's a great idea, kanak1a! We'll keep that in mind for future videos. There are actually 3 versions of this module available; one for connecting 8 field devices, one for 12, and one for 16 devices. The respective part numbers are; 2315256, 2315269, and 2315272.

You're right on the fusing issue, Chriz. That's why our engineers are developing a fused version of these modules - to address your exact concern. As mentioned, it's still in development, but once released you'll be able to isolate each device. Be sure to periodically check in with your distributor or Phoenix Contact rep so you know when this module becomes available.

The one problem I have with this is... fusing? Usually the first stop in our panels is to Pheonix HESILED Fuse Terminals, using the cross-connects to distribute the 24V, and standard knife-disconnect terminals for the 0V.

Doing things using the distributed power module leaves no way for technicians to isolate a particular piece of equipment unless adding fuse terminals after this module. In which case cost has just gone up.
