Engineering teams choose Weidmüller when they want one ecosystem for PLCs, I O, protection, and door hardware that wires up the same way on every panel. The catalogue balances compact DIN-rail modules with rugged field interfaces, so a single build standard can cover packaging lines, utilities, and HVAC plants without rewriting the method statement.
Under weidmuller automatics and control, you’ll find rail power supplies, PLC CPUs, modular I O, motion interfaces, safety relays, and HMI options that share labeling and accessories. Families scale from small machine cells to multi-bay MCCs, with identical spring clamp geometry so fine-stranded conductors land cleanly.
Machine and building projects use weidmuller automation systems with IEC 61131-3 programming, web visualization, and modular slices for digital, analogue, RTD, and fast counters. Choose compact CPUs for stand-alone skids or networked controllers with PROFINET, EtherNet IP, and Modbus TCP when cells report to SCADA.
Process panels rely on weidmuller control modules for isolators, transducers, and IO-Link masters that bridge sensors to the PLC. Pluggable terminals, test points, and front diagnostics keep commissioning fast; wide supply ranges and reinforced isolation simplify mixed SELV and mains cabinets.
Drives, soft starters, and safety relays align within weidmuller industrial automation so motor feeders, e-stops, and light curtains coordinate. You get mirror contacts for feedback, safe torque off interfacing, and shield-friendly clamp bars near gland plates for EMC hygiene next to VFDs.
Control outputs land on weidmuller relays and contactors with LED indication, test levers, RC or diode suppression, and mechanical interlocks for reversing. AC-3 utilization ratings cover typical motor starters; plug-in relay interfaces make PLC upgrades painless during retrofits.
Door operators, legend carriers, fuse drawers, and surge stages sit alongside weidmuller control components, keeping probe access, labels, and torque values consistent. Shared marker systems and cross-connects reduce assembly time and simplify audits.
Panel builders standardize on weidmuller automation equipment to keep 24 V rails, I O harnesses, and HMI drops uniform. M12 sensor leads, RJ45 panels, and heavy-duty connectors complete the route from device to controller without adapter kits.
Controllers and I O to IEC 61131-2 with declared input thresholds and output current; relays and contactors coordinated to IEC 60947 with AC-3 data and short-circuit withstand when fuse-backed; power supplies with DC-OK and ripple specs; signal modules with 3-way galvanic isolation and ≤0.1% FS linearity; HMIs fanless, wide-temp, and IP-rated fronts; EMC practice via 360° shield termination at entry plates; panel builds aligned to EN 61439 thermal limits and EN 60204 wiring rules. Publish conductor ranges, torque windows, and acceptable ambient for each rail.
DIN spacing, gland thread discipline, and label stock align with common drives, sensors, and field switches. PLCs exchange data with standard protocols; IO-Link masters feed smart sensors; shield clamps provide 360° bonds at gland plates; power supplies share jumper combs for redundant 24 V. Keep SELV and mains segregated with divider plates, and match ferrule policy to terminal technology where required.
