Technical Overview

Electronic circuit breaker module with 4 parametrizable channels for 24 VDC control and distribution systems. The device accepts 18 to 30 VDC input, provides four 24 VDC outputs, and allows each channel to be adjusted from 1 to 10 A. It includes time-delayed channel switching, adjustable trip behavior from 100 ms to 600 s, isolated signal contact, four active signal outputs, LCD status display, and RS-232 communication for current and voltage monitoring. The unit is DIN-35 rail mounted, IP20 protected, and intended for industrial low-voltage power distribution and load protection.

Key Features

  • Four independently parametrizable channels
  • Adjustable output current per channel from 1 to 10 A
  • Time-delayed channel switching, 250 ms each
  • Trip time adjustable from 100 ms to 600 s
  • Current and voltage monitoring via RS-232 interface and LCD
  • Isolated relay contact for signaling
  • Four active 24 VDC signal outputs for function monitoring
  • Green, yellow, and red LEDs for operating status indication
  • DIN-35 rail mounting
  • IP20 protection type
  • Efficiency up to 96%
  • Internal fuse T 15 A
  • Reverse feed resistance up to 33 VDC

Industrial Applications

1. Selective 24 VDC branch protection in control panels

Use as a four-channel load feeder for PLC I/O, sensors, and actuators where each branch needs independent adjustable current limiting and tripping.

Problem Solved

Prevents one faulty load from collapsing the entire 24 VDC control supply while preserving selective fault isolation.

2. Machine subcircuit monitoring with remote reset

Apply in machinery cabinets that require fault indication, remote reactivation, and serial diagnostics for maintenance personnel.

Problem Solved

Provides visible fault states, isolated signaling, and RS-232-based monitoring to reduce troubleshooting time and manual intervention.

3. Industrial automation load segmentation

Deploy where multiple independent DC loads must be started with staggered timing and monitored for overloads, such as distributed actuators or valve islands.

Problem Solved

Time-delayed channel switching and per-channel trip adjustment reduce inrush stress and help coordinate power-up sequencing.
