In one sentence
Murrelektronik is a German manufacturer of installation products for machines and cabinets: power supplies, connectors, cables and I/O.
Example
The machine uses Murrelektronik M12 connection cables and IP67 fieldbus modules mounted directly on the machine frame.
How it applies
- Engineering: Vendors of installation technology offer components for decentralized installation concepts, where I/O and power distribution move from the cabinet onto the machine. Check compatibility with the controller's fieldbus and the machine's environmental conditions.
- Maintenance: Parts lists should give full order numbers, since similar-looking cables and modules differ in coding, pin assignment and ratings.
- Documentation: Refer to the manufacturer's current data sheets and manuals instead of copying technical data into the machine documentation, and state company names correctly.
- Procurement: Use the vendor's current catalog numbers when ordering spare parts and check discontinued items against the recommended successors.
Keep in mind: Company product ranges, names and features change. Check product designations and data against Murrelektronik's current documentation before publishing.
