Galvanic isolation
One of the most common causes of communication errors is the problem with
potential differences between interconnected equipment. This is eliminated with gal-
vanic isolation of the interface, this is one of the basic functions in our products.
Transient suppression
Industrial equipment is often exposed to interference generated by, e.g. high power
cables, reactive loads and different forms of transients. Products from Westermo are
designed to withstand these types of interference.
Power supply
It is important to have a reliable power source in industrial equipment, so a DC supply
is frequently used together with accumulators to eliminate downtime. When you
charge an accumulator a higher voltage than the battery voltage is used, therefore all
equipment must be designed for these conditions. Sometimes it is also important to
use a redundant power supply for twofold reliability, which many of our products have.
