REX12 Electronic Circuit Protector
Description
The compact and flexible all-in-one solution REX consists of several
perfectly matched components. It comprises the EM12-T supply
module for the plus and minus potential via a single or double channel
REX12-T electronic circuit protector which can be mounted side by
side in any number and the PM12-T potential extension module for
plus and minus multiplication. Connection of the only 12.5 mm wide
modules is exclusively with push-in terminals which allow no-tool
time-saving wiring.
Depending on the requirement, up to 16 circuit protectors can be
placed on the symmetrical rail and are electrically connected by
means of built-in connector system - no further accessories required.
The circuit protector REX12-T offers selective overcurrent protection
by responding to short circuit or overload faster than the switch mode
power supply. Capacitive loads of up to 20,000 µF can be switched on
without problems. The circuit protectors are available in all standard
current ratings from 1 A to 10 A. Besides the UL508listed approval
and NEC Class2, the REX12-T also meets the requirements of cable
protection to EN60204-1.

REX12 Electronic Circuit Protector
Description – EM12-T supply module
The EM12-T supply module receives the DC 24 V supply voltage, e.g.
from a switch mode power supply, and distributes it to the mounted
circuit protectors via the integral connector arm of the REX12-T.
The potential-free auxiliary contact in the EM12-T indicates any
detected failures through the circuit protector,e.g. to the superordinate
control unit (CPU).
