From screw connection to the innovative PUSH IN connection or the brand new SNAP IN technology: Klippon® Connect meets all requirements

Power & control voltage distribution

To distribute power to devices in the control cabinet, more and more conductors have to be accommodated on the mounting rails. This increases the risk of incorrect connections. With our customised potential distribution terminals, complete control voltage distributions can be set up very easily and compactly - with and without fusing. This saves space and reduces the wiring effort, ensuring that all components in the control cabinet can be supplied easily and effectively. In traditional and field-side installations, the WFS 4 and WTR 4 terminal blocks offer unrivalled modularity and flexibility between fuse and disconnect functions.

Klippon® Connect WPD 104 - WPD 113 power distribution terminal blocks

For an easy and fast connection of aluminium wires

The power and zero potentials that are fed into machines and plants often need to be distributed even further to supply other consumers such as motors. Those extensions need to be as safe, efficient and space-saving as possible. WPD distribution blocks have a unique echelon form and screw heads in an offset position. The latter ensure at every echelon level a safe and comfortable connection in systems and housings, even in confined spaces.

Signal wiring and marshalling

In process automation, growing safety requirements, complex automation processes, as well as monitoring and recording functions have increased the number of sensors. Signal conductors in marshalling cabinets must therefore be wired in a space- and time-saving manner. Our WMF modular terminal blocks provide an extremely compact and clear control cabinet structure. The optimised design combines all necessary terminal functions in one module, which increases flexibility and saves up to 50 % space. Vibration-proof and gas-tight connections ensure safety. Additional signal conductors can be easily connected and PRV/PPV platform offers maximum connection density.

Klippon® Connect WMF terminal blocks for signal wiring and marshalling

The efficient and extremely flexible solution for marshalling signals

In process control systems for facilities in the process and power generation sectors, incoming signals from field devices are often connected with terminal blocks in marshalling cabinets. Terminal blocks are used despite the existence of alternative technologies such as Remote I/O and Fieldbus. This is mainly because they offer a sturdy and simple connection system, and because they are clearly arranged. Our WMF (Weidmüller Multi Funktional) line of terminal blocks provide a multi-functional solution for marshalling signals.

Klippon® Connect W2C and W2T Range signal wiring and signal marshalling

Automation in the process industry requires flexible solutions for complex production processes. Your circuit diagrams are no less complex and often undergo changes shortly before the end. With our new range of DCS marshalling terminal blocks you can solve these challenges. Even a „last minute change“ is feasible for you without having to change the wiring you have already done.

Thanks to the single and double-level arrangement of the terminal blocks, combined with the provision of the four basic functions (continuity, disconnect, fuse, ground), you achieve maximum flexibility when connecting your devices wired in the field. We also offer you an alternative to connecting the shield to PE for your potential-free shielding concepts.

Shielding and earthing

Shield connections for equipotential bonding or functional earth are essential in process industry plants. WMF terminal blocks with integrated PE connection make an important contribution to safe and space-saving conductor connection in marshalling distributors or terminal boxes in the field. Directly on the WMF terminal block for signal wiring there is also a connection with direct connection to the mounting rail. This can be used either as a protective conductor or for equipotential bonding – quite simply in the existing wiring and without taking up additional installation space.
