MICO Basic

Intelligent Power Distribution

[Translate to Canada: English [en_CA]:] Murrelektronik MICO Basic, intelligent power distribution module - example of use

Monitors, Detects, Reacts

MICO Basic is Murrelektronik's intelligent power distribution module for 24 V DC applications. It monitors the power distribution and reacts to short circuits by shutting the channel down as late as possible but as early as necessary. MICO Basic is perfect for any application that protection a lot of sensors and actuators with similar demands. The current ranges are preset and the modules monitor four or eight channels with 2, 4 or 6 A.

Early Failure Prevention

When 90% of the selected current load on a channel is reached, the LED blinks green. This helps to prevent wear of motor valves at an early stage if channels fail during operation because of an increased demand of power.

Up to 20000 µF

Up to 20,000 µF can be loaded per channel. So it's possible to monitor a number of high capacitive loads with one device.

Avoid Inrush Spikes

MICO eliminates start-up spikes with a cascading start of individual current paths. This allows you to size your power supplies to your average use as opposed to your start up needs.

Reduced Wiring Effort

Multiple MICO modules can be connected via the integrated bridging system. This reduces both installation time and the potential for wiring errors.

Maintenance-free and vibration resistant

Spring clamp terminals enable installation in the shortest time possible. They are maintenance-free and vibration resistant. Periodic maintenance to retighten screw terminals is no longer required.

Operating Conditions Saved

MICO saves the operating condition of each channel even during loss of power. This simplifies troubleshooting when the channel is brought back online.
