"proboxx": synergy of design and function

Flexible, functional and elegant – these are the characteristics featuring the new enclosure range proboxx of Georg Schlegel GmbH & Co. KG based in Duermentingen. With the new product line, the portfolio of enclosures of the expert for pushbuttons and switches is complemented by a particularly classy and at the same time practical variant that makes daily work easier.

The proboxx is convincing by its various application fields. Its conception allows an easy integration into existing structures, considering current technical standards. The proboxx can be used for conventional wiring as well as for modern communication systems. Schlegel currently offers the proboxx as an empty enclosure, but also in assembled variants. The latter may include up to four pushbuttons or switches and are available for connection to the following four systems: conventional wiring, IO-Link, AS-Interface and radio systems. All connection variants are equipped with a M12 connector.

Empty enclosure

We also offer the proboxx as an empty version for individual usage.

The empty enclosure for conventional wiring has a predetermined breaking point for M16 cable glands. Without the predetermined breaking point, the empty version can be used for wireless radio applications or for individual usage with customer-specific connectors.

Assembled M12 enclosure

The proboxx can easily be integrated into conventionally wired systems via the M12 connector. The proboxx variants including an emergency-stop are equipped with a second but separate M12 connector for the emergency-stop.

Assembled IO-Link enclosure

In order to integrate the proboxx into an IO-Link system, the M12 connector has to be connected directly to the IO-Link master port. An LED indicator shows the current state of the proboxx. Using a PLC or IPC, the customer can monitor or change the following settings:

• dimming and night design of all LEDs

• operating hours meter

• switching cycles (lifetime) of each pushbutton or switch

Assembled AS-Interface enclosure

The proboxx can be integrated directly into the AS-Interface fieldbus system via the M12 connector. An LED indicator shows the current state of the proboxx.

Assembled enclosure with sWave radio technology

The radio system consists of a transmitting unit and a receiving unit based on steute's well-established sWave technology. Both the transmitting and the receiving units operate on a frequency of 868 MHz. The signal ranges up to 450 m in open areas and up to 40 m within buildings. The proboxx with radio technology is the ideal solution for areas where cable wiring is not desired or even not possible.

A long-life battery, ensuring a bidirectional communication and validation of the switching action via included LED indicator, powers the transmitter electronics. The LED indicator shows a red blinking light when the battery needs to be changed. A special function regularly monitors the battery's performance.

The receiver has 4 potential-free relay outputs that are connected via NO contacts. When the system is in learning mode, the switches inside the proboxx enclosure can easily be assigned to the required relay output. The receiver's LED indicators also show the current state of the assigned switches. The radio system is approved for the European market, and thanks to the sWave technology also for the Chinese market.

The proboxx in detail

The enclosure made of polyamide it characterized by its high strength and has a protection degree of IP65.

Dimensions: width - 52mm, height - 44mm, length depending on the number of switches - 69mm, 105mm, 141mm or 177mm

The newly invented, innovative mounting mechanism allows the user to mount the enclosure on full-surface substructures, on the wall, and on profile rails. The special feature: The enclosure does not have to be opened for mounting and can be replaced quickly in case of service or failure by snapping it out. The new mounting mechanism also supports an asymmetrical placement of the proboxx, allowing trouble-free installation on safety doors.

Particular attention was devoted to the design of the proboxx. Therefore, the screw fitting was deliberately placed on the bottom side, so the enclosure's appearance is not disturbed by exposed screw heads. This aesthetic detail aligns with the added value of safety: The enclosure cannot be opened without dismounting it.

A newly created special nameplate fits the design perfectly and can be clipped on easily. The inscription is custom-made and engraved by lasering.

Orders and individual assembly of the proboxx can be submitted via our new online enclosure configurator. Based on your requirements, you can select an empty enclosure or an assembled one and choose from a variety of sizes and systems the most suitable assembly for your application. The proboxx can be equipped with various pilot lights, pushbuttons, selector and key switches, and an e-stop button.

The high-grade product "proboxx" adds to SCHLEGEL's already wide range of stainless steel, plastic and light metal casting enclosures for switches and terminal blocks.
