The Intelligent Field Terminal (iFT)

With the use of central inverters it's very important to combine the available DC-strings to few collective DC-conductors. Our iFT can monitor both the currents and the fuses of the single string. Data transmission as well as power supply is provided by the available DC-strings.

Overview:

Generator terminal box with 125 A fuses
Load breaker available
Load breaker also available as line safety switch
Double output terminals for series connection of additional terminal boxes, connector up to 185 mm²,
maximum current on connector 232 A.
Connection of 16 strings via spring-type terminal up to a profile of 6 mm² (differing profiles available on request) Quick overview on fault provided by LEDs for every single fuse locally
Every component is certified for 1,000 V-DC or more and guarantee a high durability.
Case in V2A, powder-coated, or in Polysafe for an announced durability of 20 years.
IP 54 Standard for optimal climate inside of the iFT-casing
All components protected from indirect contact „Back-off-hand-proof“ according toBGV A2 VBG4
Allows use of varying fuses for the phase fuses from 2 A to 25 A for optimal fuse protection
Expandable for optional notifications like „breaker state on/off“, „lightning arrestor triggered“
Customizable for particular climates by refitting of fan units or heaters

Intelligent Automation Terminal Box

With the use of central inverters it's very important to combine the available DC-strings to few collective DC-conductors. Our iAT decouples, processes and records all information regarding the states of the DC-fuses and DC-currents. The iAT is normally installed close to the central inverters where the information processed by the iAT is provided to the iMT.

Overview:

Casing V2A powder-coated or in Polysafe for an announced
durability of 20 yearsIP 54 Standard for optimal climate inside of the iFT-casing
230 V-AC / 24 V-DC power supply
Two fuses for DC-generator-connections
DC-powerline-coupler for 1,000 V-DC
Router (powerline to twisted pair)
iGATE datalogger and alarm-handler
TCP/IP also possible via glass-fibre optics
FTT10A connection to the iMT
Connection of up to 10 iFTs to a single iAT
Controlling of up to 1 MWp per iAT

Das IAT come in three different versions:

iAT19610_S Standard

iAT 19610_P Premium

iAT_switch_19651_Premium

The Intelligent Management Terminal (iMT)

With the use of central inverters it's very important to combine the available DC-strings to few collective DC-conductors.Our iMT is the central hub for all iATs in a system – here, all the information is gathered. We provide several variations of the iMT. The simplest version uses a control-terminal as display for visualizations.

Overview:

230 V-AC power supply (0,5 A) / 24V-DC-DC String current indicator
DC open fuse display
>DC (iFT) current comparison
Alarm- and failure display with acknowledgement
Connectability options: TCP/IP, fibre-optics or FTT10A LonWorks
Possibility of connection to external gateways
Possibility of connection to an internet portal

The IMT comes in three different versions:

Local & Remote SCADA (Premium) 19800

Overview

Connection to Internet (DSL and/or UMTS)
The Industry PC is connected to the intelligent Management Terminal (for monitoring of inverters, string monitoring and weather station monitoring)
Touch Screen
IP 55 Enclosure
Safety lock prevents unauthorized access to control panel

Optional features

Video connection (IP CCTV System)
Outputs for safety and security contacts
