Two prominent companies in the enclosures and electrical connectors
market sectors - Rittal and Phoenix Contact respectively - have
collaborated to ease the design of terminal rail assemblies when using
electrical project management software. Essentially, Rittal has provided
an interface within its EPlan computer-aided electrical engineering
software, for Phoenix Contact's CLIPSelect terminal strip configuration
software tool. Termination data in Eplan is automatically transferred to
the CLIPSelect module, which configures an appropriate DIN rail terminal
system based on function, engineering parameters and product type
preferences. CLIPSelect even provides a graphic of the complete terminal
assembly, including end-stops and bridging plates, which are applied
automatically by the software.
