We’ve talked about how tough PLCs are, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need protection. On the contrary, a busy industrial workplace poses many hazards to critical equipment like PLCs. Managers need to ensure that their facilities are using the appropriate electrical enclosures to protect control systems.
Common features that designers look for when specifying an enclosure for a PLC include:
- Ability to add DIN rails and mounting panels inside the enclosure for easy PLC mounting
- NEMA rated enclosures or IP rated enclosures to protect against common hazards of an industrial workplace
- Rugged construction using materials like polycarbonate, ABS, steel or aluminum
- Protection against EMI and RFI
- Mounting flanges if intended for use as a surface mount electrical box
- UL tested to ensure strict compliance with all IP and NEMA enclosure ratings
