SCHURTER Components and HMI for Industrial Automation
Industrial automation leverages machines, sensors, control systems, and software to enhance efficiency, precision, and productivity in industrial processes. SCHURTER products contribute to this by providing reliable power supply, robust protection, and seamless connectivity, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation. By minimizing manual interventions and optimizing production workflows, SCHURTER helps manufacturers achieve higher performance, increased uptime, and improved operational safety.
Below are some key aspects of this application.
Use Case: Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensors
Modern automated production equipment relies on numerous cables for power and data transmission. But cabling takes up valuable space, reduces accessibility, and is sometimes the most failure-prone part of a machine. This is where compact and powerful prismatic supercapacitors come into play.
By enabling sensors to operate independently of a fixed power supply, supercapacitors help reduce wiring complexity. A small energy source—such as a solar cell or a kinematic energy harvester—generates low levels of power, which are insufficient for directly operating the sensor and its control IoT module. Instead, this energy is stored in the supercapacitor. When needed, the supercap releases high-power pulses, providing enough energy for the sensor to take a measurement and for the IoT module to transmit data via Wi-Fi.
This solution simplifies factory automation, reducing the need for extensive wiring while enhancing system reliability and flexibility.
Product Showcase for Control Units: Fuseholders
Application Requirements
Ensure safe and uninterrupted operation of control electronics, high reliability and durability to withstand industrial environments as well as protection against overcurrent and short circuits.

Spotlight: THR or SMT technology?
Electronic components come in a variety of mounting technologies. The classic is the through hole technology (THT), its modern counterparts are SMT and THR. Which one to choose?Particularily slim: FPAC Rail EMC Filters for machine control units
Space is almost always at a premium in control cabinets for industrial applications. SCHURTER addresses this problem with a complete new filter design that is just 44 mm in width. The new, single-stage filter series is constructed with a printed circuit board in a plastic housing. It has screw terminals for the three phases and a terminal on the metal base plate for the earth connection.
All versions can be used from -40 °C to 100 °C. The filters are designed for currents from 3 A to 32 A at a maximum of 520 VAC in accordance with IEC and UL standards. They feature ENEC and cURus approval and are suitable for applications in accordance with IEC 62368-1.

Focus: Food Processing
Machines in the food industry must meet high hygiene and safety standards, withstand intensive working conditions and fulfil strict certifications. A reliable, safe and efficient HMI is crucial.
Focus: Industrial remote controls
Modern machine control systems must be robust and reliable in harsh environments. They can also be operated in extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall and with gloves.Product Showcase for Sensors: EMC
Application Requirements
Low electromagnetic interference (EMI) to ensure accurate measurements, high electrical and mechanical stability as well as compact size for easy integration.
FMAB NEO one-phase-Filter
The FMAB NEO one-phase filter is designed for medical equipment in accordance with IEC/UL 60601-1 (1 MOOP, 1 MOPP). With the Protection Class II, it offers 2 MOOP, 2 MOPP, along with an integrated ground line choke and outstanding symmetrical attenuation.
DKCV-1
Current compensated 1-phase choke with nanocrystalline cores and THT-terminals. Compact design with small footprint. The open design optimizes heat dissipation. Available as standard or as customer specific versions.
Spotlight: Filter simulation with SPICE models
An efficient circuit development requires a previous simulation. However, each simulation is only as good as the model is capable of mapping the reality. Therefore we provide sophisticated simulation models taking into account magnetic saturation.Design-in electronic components? Development partner for HMI applications? Ask SCHURTER.
