Developed over two years ago, the EPLAN Data Portal integrates around 120,000 pieces of component and device data from numerous component manufacturers. The number of manufacturers and components is permanently increasing and the portal itself is continually being updated. Following the launch of the EPLAN Platform 2.0, the new EPLAN Data Portal 2.0 has now gone live. Users are enjoying new time-saving functions in the web-based portal that make ...

Rittal’s SE 8 free-standing enclosure system is replacing the popular ES 5000 series. The SE 8 offers an ideal platform for your application and will ensure maximum availability, whether in building installation, mechanical and plant engineering or process technology.

Rittal’s Toptec range of outdoor enclosures is centred around a stainless steel TS 8 form frame which can be stripped down to the frame to enable maximum access during equipment installation to create a fast and efficient working option.

Earlier this year, Rittal accomplished double success when both UK companies, Rittal-CSM, its design and manufacturing company in Plymouth and Rittal Ltd, the sales and marketing company, achieved Investors in People Bronze Standard. To put this achievement in context, of the 24,000 organisations in the UK that had achieved Investors in People status, only 700 had achieved the Bronze standard.

Rittal air-air heat exchangers can lead to attractive cost savings over refrigerant based air conditioners due to their simple design, low energy consumption and minimum maintenance. Air-air heat exchangers utilise the ambient air to cool the air within the enclosure interior using only two working parts.

For automation, communications or power supply technology, Rittal offer the correct enclosures and cabinets to suit virtually all requirement profiles in modern industry.

Blade and 1U servers are leading to climate control problems in racks and subsequently changing the requirements of the IT infrastructure. Match cooling capacities to the present and future demand is crucial and Rittal’s new LCP Extend (liquid cooling package) unit is based on an air/water heat exchanger which solves the problem of high heat losses of up to 12 kW per rack.

Design data from AutoCAD Inventor or Mechanical can now managed together with electrical and fluid engineering projects, using the bidirectional EPLAN interface to the PDM System Vault. Direct connection between the PDM System and EPLAN Platform 2.0 makes the highest degree of transparency possible. An integrated revision management approach speeds up data organisation in mechanical engineering and CAE, ensuring a dependable release and tracking ...

Rittal have a range of cooling units specifically designed for outdoor enclosure applications. If you want your electronic equipment to remain useful for longer when situated outdoors, then treat it like you would your pet and give it some air!

An integrated overall concept for modern data centres, “Rittal - The System” offers support for the active and passive side of a data centre with five perfectly matched modules: Rack, Power, Cooling, Security and Monitoring and Remote Management.

EPLAN Electric P8 2.0 SP1 released in March 2011 has many new features such as extended reports and parts management, flexible terminal design, new check functions, PDF/A output and an individual revision management.

Rittal have extended their range of Cool Efficiency cooling units with the introduction of the new Premium Series. Using a powerful comfort controller system that consumes 40 to 50% less energy than the standard Rittal cooling units, the Premium Series is in addition to Rittal’s standard TopTherm units. Cooling outputs of 1kW and 2kW are available now with the complete series up to 40kW, being completed in the spring.

Easier assembly of busbar systems will save time and money using Rittal’s RiLine60 busbar technology for the construction of low-voltage switchgear. Design improvements to the busbar supports mean that the integrated step mechanisms for adapting to the flat bar cross-section can now be locked using pins. Engineers have the flexibly to insert flat copper bars retained in a holder from the front, or slide them in from the side.

Rittal has just extended the range of protection categories for their Hygienic Design range of enclosures. With immediate effect all Hygienic Design Compact enclosures & Terminal boxes satisfy the demands of the following protection categories: IP 66, IP 69K along with NEMA types 12, 13 & 4X with the addition of NEMA 3R for their range of HD-KL Terminal boxes.

Using diagonal fan technology to increase the working back pressure, Rittal’s new TopTherm fan and filter units provide an increased and more stable airflow, even with contaminated filters. Diagonal air flow offers a greater spread of air within the enclosure thus reducing the possibility of hot spots and has the effect of requiring fewer maintenance intervals for the replacement of filter mats.

With access to the new RittalXpress website at www.rittalxpress.co.uk it is possible to search for a suitable product and receive an outline quotation for a standard or modified Rittal enclosure within minutes.

Offering exact planning reliability EPLAN Pro Panel allows the definition of a virtual 3D prototype of the mounting layout – independently of the electrical or fluid schematic. Mounting panels, housings or enclosures can be dimensioned optimally so that the costs are reduced. Consistent data for all the participating engineering disciplines ensure that the workflow towards the production is also efficient. Last but not least EPLAN Pro Panel pro...

Rittal’s modular climate control concept offers an easy way to add cooling to a Rittal enclosure or to upgrade an existing system. Individual climate control choices can be made, ready to use, without the need to make mounting cut outs, by simply replacing the door and choosing the appropriate climate control module in just a few steps.

A new version of the Rittal Power engineering software for the design and calculation of busbar systems and Motor Control Centres (MCC’s) is now available. This new version allows the configuration and planning of busbar systems in TS 8 enclosures and at the same time create documentation and calculate heat loss for the project. It is also possible to combine Ri4Power in Form 1-4b and also use flat busbars for Form 1. The existing design and ca...

Building on their extensive experience in providing weatherproof enclosures for a wide range of applications around the globe, Rittal has developed some prototypes for the emerging market of charging stations for electric vehicles. These products are intended as discussion points for development of specific models. A modular approach enables a number of assembly solutions which include pavement standing versions and wall mounted indoor models for...
