Rittal unveils new AX and KX enclosure ranges

For users of the EPLAN Data Portal there is another option which utilises a new shopping cart function which is part of the EPLAN data portal. Simply upload a complete project parts list to the shopping cart of the Data Portal and all Rittal components, (including the relevant macros for the new enclosures and compact enclosures) are then available in their parts database. This, states Rittal, saves significant time compared with executing individual downloads. Users who configure their compact and small enclosures with the Rittal Configuration System also benefit from a convenient conversion tool: the system works on the basis of electronically stored sets of rules and its inbuilt plausibility check prevents incorrect or unsuitable parts from being displayed. Further machining operations - for example the creation of cut-outs for fans-and-filter units - are accommodated within the system and users that have already configured projects in this way can simply upload the existing configuration to the new migration tool.

Once the tool is launched, a traffic light system provides a quick response: green means that all necessary components have been transferred to the new configuration while a yellow symbol indicates that the user should check the configuration. A red symbol means that the system has spotted potential problems: for example instances where components have been selected and placed at odds with one other. An example would be if cut-outs have been slightly displaced from their original location. Users can then correct and/or add to the configuration. The end result is a 3D model of the new AX compact enclosure or KX small enclosure, plus a parts list and the processing programmes for the mechanical machining centres for downloading.
