Reliability isn’t built on luck - it’s designed into every system. From switchboards to heavy machinery, the most effective operations are the ones prepared for the unexpected. That’s why redundancy isn’t a “nice to have” - it’s a core requirement.
Phoenix Contact’s Redundancy Diode Modules and QUINT ORING range provide the assurance that your power supply won’t let you down. By eliminating single points of failure and actively monitoring system health, they help you deliver consistent performance, no matter the demands on your infrastructure.
The Challenge: Avoiding Single Points of Failure
Even the highest quality power supplies can fail. Without redundancy, a single fault can bring an entire system to a halt - leading to production stoppages, equipment damage, and costly downtime. Mission-critical systems can’t afford the vulnerability of a single supply.
The Solution: Phoenix Contact Redundancy Modules
Diode Modules – Reliable Decoupling for Uninterrupted Power
Diode modules are the simplest way to ensure a redundant supply. By decoupling two parallel power supplies, they protect your system from a short circuit in one unit spreading across the network.
Key Benefits:
Short-circuit protection: Keeps loads safe by isolating faults.
Consistent system availability: If one power supply fails, the other seamlessly takes over.
Space efficiency: Compact design fits into tight panels without compromise.
Absolute supply security: Ensures availability both at the supply output and along supply lines.
QUINT ORING – Active Monitoring for Early Fault Detection
When uptime is critical, active redundancy takes protection to the next level. Phoenix Contact’s QUINT ORING modules continuously monitor the entire system, from input voltage to wiring integrity and load current.
Key Features & Benefits:
Auto Current Balancing (ACB): Shares loads evenly, extending power supply service life.
Comprehensive supervision: Detects wiring issues, voltage drops, or uneven loads early - so you can act before disruptions occur.
High efficiency: Up to 98% efficiency, lowering energy use and operating costs.
Enhanced safety: Critical operating states are flagged immediately, restoring redundancy before a failure impacts your system.
Where Redundancy Makes the Difference
Redundancy isn’t just for one type of project - it’s for every environment where uptime is mission-critical. Think about:
Continuous production lines that can’t afford a sudden stop.
Remote operations where immediate maintenance support isn’t always possible.
Safety-critical systems where failure could compromise people, equipment, or data.
Wherever uninterrupted operation is non-negotiable, redundancy ensures peace of mind.
Why Choose Active Redundancy Now
Investing in redundancy isn’t just about protecting your systems today - it’s about extending service life, minimising downtime, and maximising return on investment. With Phoenix Contact’s diode modules and QUINT ORING range, you’re not just buying components - you’re securing performance, safety, and peace of mind.
By integrating redundancy, you’re not just covering immediate needs - you’re building a foundation for long-term resilience and performance.
