FAQs
The SE 5845.600 is designed for VX SE compatibility, offering mounting levels, a mounting plate sized at 1,099 × 1,896 mm, and two punched rails (18 × 39 mm). This enables rapid insertion of VX25 modules and accessories, reducing configuration time and ensuring a clean, upgrade-ready enclosure for evolving automation architectures.
It provides IP55 protection, NEMA 12 compatibility, and IK10 impact resistance. IP55 guards against limited dust and water exposure, NEMA 12 suits indoor dust and oil splash conditions, and IK10 ensures high impact resistance. Together, they help protect sensitive drive electronics, power supplies, and PLCs in challenging factory environments.
The enclosure is designed for indoor industrial use with robust powder-coated sheet steel. While not specifically rated for outdoor weather exposure, its IP55 and NEMA 12 capabilities support protection in semi-exposed indoor spaces or harsh environmental areas inside plants. For outdoor applications, consider additional weather-proofing or climate-controlled housings as needed.
Key certifications and standards include IP55 protection (IEC 60529), NEMA 12 compatibility, IK10 impact resistance, UL 50E Type 1 rating, and CE/ETIM/ECLASS classifications. These align with common industrial safety and electrical enclosure requirements, helping ensure regulatory compliance for control cabinets and automation panels.
The system delivers faster commissioning through VX SE compatibility, integrated mounting rails, and a detachable rear panel that simplifies wiring. Heavy-weight construction contributes to stable installations, reducing vibration-related issues. Combined with scalable configuration and durable finish, this enclosure lowers maintenance costs and extends service intervals, improving total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
