Take Control with a Single Power and Communication Module

Begin your CAPAROC system setup with the dedicated power module, which takes care of centralised power input and communication.

Because the individual modules connect via a rear-mounted current rail, you won’t have to worry about extra wiring.

Module addressing happens automatically, so integration is straightforward and efficient.

All key data flows through the power module and is sent to the designated interface, giving you a clear view across your entire 24 V supply network.

Choose from multiple power module variants, each designed to fit your specific application needs:

• Status output with remote reset

• IO-Link interface

• PROFINET interface

• Ethernet/IP interface

Protect and Customise with CAPAROC's Single, Dual and Quad-Channel Modules

Build a robust CAPAROC system tailored to your needs, featuring single and four-channel circuit breaker modules, plus potential distribution modules for added flexibility.

The two-channel circuit breakers are a breeze to set up and configure, letting you conveniently check the preset nominal current right on the device.

Thanks to their active current limitation, you’ll optimise how the upstream power supply is used, ensuring more precise power management throughout your system.

Maximise Multi-Channel Protection in Minimal Space

Save space and protect up to four channels with CAPAROC’s one and four-channel circuit breaker modules, each integrated on a per-channel basis.

Choose between fixed or adjustable nominal currents to fit virtually any application—from an ultra-compact footprint of just 3 mm per channel, to four potential distributor terminals accommodating cable cross-sections up to 4 mm².

Rely on the CAPAROC system to deliver everything you need for robust, dependable protection.

Distribute Power Reliably with CAPAROC's Rear-Side Current Rails

The rear-side current rails are the backbone of the CAPAROC system, ensuring a steady power supply to every module.

Need to expand or reconfigure?

You can add or remove modules without any extra wiring. Plus, the built-in potential distributors alongside each circuit breaker module make it easy to extend positive and 0 V load supply wherever you need it, keeping your power distribution streamlined and efficient.
