Weidmüller presented a globally unique surge protection system for measurement and control devices in the process industry at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES exhibition held in Nuremberg from November.

In addition, ranges of highly efficient, reliable power supplies and the complete Weidmüller line of industrial communications products, including connectors, structured wiring and high-end, state-of-the-art industrial Ethernet switches, were also on display. The new line of ultra-integrated ACT20 signal converters – available in superslim versions (6mm) with extra safety (Ex for use in explosive risk zones), and greater versatility in communicating – were also shown.

Weidmüller also commanded attention from visitors to the stand with its PRV marshalling and distribution terminal.  The PRV terminal is one of the most compact of its type in the world and sets a new standard for electrical cabinet cabling - with the capability to connect more than 1,700 signals in a metre-wide cabinet space.

"We were really pleased with the reaction from visitors to our stand at SPS/IPC/DRIVES. New and existing customers stated how they were very impressed with our application expertise and we are looking forward to working on potential solutions with those who asked us for further contact and information.” stated Sales Director Volbert Briel.

“Our two-pronged strategy, started in 2008 has strengthened our leadership position in the electrical connectivity market and also fortified our innovative, applications-oriented industrial electronics product line. This is the basis for the more than 30% growth rate Weidmüller realised in 2010," explained Dr. Joachim Belz, member of the Executive Board and CEO of the Weidmüller Group.
