Phoenix Contact: Assistance System for Surge Protection With New Functions

April 14, 2020

A major firmware update provides new functions for the ImpulseCheck assistance system for surge protection. With firmware 2.0, you can now select PROFICLOUD Global or PROFICLOUD China as the end point.

In addition, the update provides you with new interfaces to access selected data for the assistance system in the local network. You can access the data via Modbus TCP/IP or a REST API. However, in contrast to the CONTROL API for PROFICLOUD in the ImpulseAnalytics application, the scope is reduced to the key features of ImpulseCheck, the evaluated measured data, and the state of health of the monitored surge protective device. When connected to the cloud, the data is updated accordingly and can now also be viewed directly in the web-based management of ImpulseCheck. The web server of the assistance system must be permanently active in order to use the REST API. To restrict access to the ImpulseCheck configuration for any network devices, we have implemented password authentication which can be activated as an option. In addition, depending on the location, you can set the web-based management language to English, Chinese or German.
